The Question You Need to Ask

Posted by Cynthia Howerter on Feb 22, 2012 in Faith | 3 comments

I’ll bet if you think about it, you ask a lot of questions in a day’s time.  Why, most likely before you even arrive at work each morning, you’ve already asked a number of questions.

Johnny, did you study for that math test?  Honey, could we have something other than chicken for supper tonight?  Are you going to turn that blinker off or are you just going to annoy me all the way down this road?

See what I mean?  You ask lots of questions each day.

I’ll bet there’s a lot of people in your life.  No, there are.  Trust me.

There’s your spouse, your children, your parents, your siblings, your in-laws, your neighbors, your close friends, your mechanic.  Even Gladys Kravitch across the street.

And I’ll bet you eventually get around to asking each of these folks questions, too.

What are you doing for Easter this year?  Are you happy with the painters you just used?  Would you be able to watch our dog and get the mail next weekend?

But if the phone rang and someone told you that one of these people had just died suddenly, would you regret having never asked the one question that would have made a big difference in their life – and yours?

You know the question.  And that’s exactly why you haven’t asked any of these people that question.

Come on.  Admit it.  You don’t want to be embarrassed.  Don’t tell me that you don’t want to make the other person feel uncomfortable.

Isn’t the truth more that you don’t want to feel uncomfortable?  Or embarrassed?  I thought so.

Here’s the bottom line, friend.  We never know when our time will be up on this earth.  But when it is, it’s sudden and it’s final.  And those who are left can only ask themselves the question:  Did my spouse, my child, my parent, my sibling, my in-law, my neighbor, my close friend, my mechanic, Gladys Kravitch accept Jesus Christ as their Savior before they died?

Oops.  I’m wrong.  There’s one more question:  I wonder where they are now – in heaven or…?

Get over it and ask.  If they haven’t accepted Jesus as their Savior, there’s still time.

“I tell you the truth, whoever believes has eternal life.”  John 6:47.
