DAILY READINGS: Exodus 19:1-25; Psalms 58:1-59:17; Acts 10:24-48
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27
Chicago’s O’Hare airport was 37,000 feet below our Boeing 737. It was time to read and relax. But then I noticed a couple near me reading a religious pamphlet. Soon we were in a discussion regarding our individual faiths. After a lengthy dialogue, I stated, “I have five minutes to live, will you please tell me how I can get to heaven?” Startled they looked at one another and replied, “We’ve never thought about that.” Now it was my turn, and with joy, I told them when one acknowledges they are a sinner, and places their trust in the Lord Jesus, God’s son, they are assured of everlasting life. —Arnot P. McIntee
Come, and He will give you rest; trust Him for His word is plain;
He will take the sinfulest; Christ receiveth sinful men. —E. Neumeister
