The Ride

The Ride
The book of Proverbs tells us,
“For a man’s ways are in full view of the LORD, 
and he examines all his paths.”
                                                  Proverbs 5:21.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole  duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes12:13,14.
The poet wrote,
“Ticket”

“Where am I?
What, am...
I doing here?”

“You are her.”
Says the Conductor.
“Your ticket please.”

“I bought no ticket.
I took no ride.
Where am I?”

“Your ride is over,                       You are here.                     All take the ride.
Your ticket’s paid for,               Says the Conductor               You are here.
Your ticket please,                    Please your ticket.              Your ticket please.”

“I took no ride!
Where am I?
I demand to know!

I took no...
ride...
Am I...”

“You are here.
All take the ride.
The ticket paid for,
With My blood.

“I am here...
I have no ticket...
And you are...”

“Jesus.”

As a believer in Christ Jesus I firmly believe that each individual will one day have to stand before God and give an account for their actions during the ride that was our life.
I firmly believe Jesus when talking about himself said,
“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.
If I and other believer in Christ Jesus like me are wrong, then it is like C. S. Lewis stated,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important. C. S. Lewis.
Thus the question becomes, do you believe Christianity to be true? AND,  Are you willing to risk your eternal resting place on what you believe?
Please think about it.
