THERE SHE GOES: HERE SHE COMES

It happened again. A grade school and high school classmate of mine passed away yesterday. We weren't close. I can't recall the last time I even saw her.

But what concerns me is her obit. There were all the usual basic references to family, work, and interests/activities. Missing was church affiliation and service.

She served. Working at a local organization with a national charter. She had no doubt volunteered hours of dedication to an arm of that service organization. But her efforts were burned up here.

I'm getting angry. I'm getting tired of people dying without knowing the Lord. Without anyone having helped warm them to Jesus Christ. I know from scripture that God pursues us, "not even one" would pursue Him on our own.

But I also know from Matt 28:20 that we are commissioned to spread the gospel--to share the Good News. We're not sharing enough. Or we're not getting through.

If I could warm one reader of One Way to Jesus, if I could help win one soul to Christ, all my blogging would have been worth it. To the loved ones left behind saying "There she goes," to the ones on the other side saying, "Here she comes," it would be a glorious day on both fronts.
