Your Maker
Winston Churchill said,
“I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.” Winston Churchill.
I don’t know if Churchill was a Christian or not. However he was a great man. The right man at the right moment in history.
I don’t know what God said to Mr. Churchill when he met him face to face. That is unimportant. The key here is Churchill said he was prepared to meet his maker.
Are you?
The apostle Paul speaking to the Athenians said,
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.
And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
“Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man’s design and skill.
In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:24-31.
Paul was of course speaking about Jesus who will one day judge each and everyone. The question is will you be ready for that judgement.
Jesus speaking of himself issued us a warning saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
Thus he made the choice for all individuals simple. Believe in the one and only Son of God, Jesus and gain eternal life with God, or not.
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
