A week or so back, while on a visit to Churachandpur District Hospital, I am distracted by an anguished wailing of one in deep pains. I look down and a father carries his death daughter in clothes and on his back. Behind him, inconsolable, down and distraught crying her lung out in pain is the mother. “Why o why, come back! My dear.”
Tears just slip off my eyes! Lost for words and mourning deeply for the family. A good Samaritan springs up from nowhere. Signaling the Father to stop. He then ran and after a while come back with his maroon worn out Maruti 800, dropping them off to thier destination.
All of these happens so fast I was numbed into doing nothing but just standing and staring in the tragedy of what is call Death: the wage of Sin! The images lingered on in my mind. Feeling Sad for the mother. Feeling pain at the injustice and tragedies of life. Feeling happy and elated too at seeing that all is not lost that Good Human Being still existed. The worn out Maroon Maruti 800 and its owner: Respect is all i have for them. May thier tribe increases manifold!
Scenes of death is always painful. The other day, a friend’s mother has passed away at the ripe ages of 94 years. She has been sick and bedridden for the past five years. In and out of senility, on one occasion she urged her daughter-in-law to go to so and so and asks them for thier forgiveness. For in her eyes, she has been a proud and bad woman. But that’s not how the families see her. Loved, cared and longed. Despite of the sickness and the suffering, how they wished she lives on. Tears just rolls down from my eyes!
Well friends! When death comes callings there is no time table or age or specific schedule. It can come anytime! And once it comes there is no turning back. The Bible says the wage of Sin is Death. And death is not the end of life. Judgement awaits!
Sin entered Eden through Satan. Man made in the image and likeness of God lost his spiritual linkage. Blinded and captive to Satan and into his kingdom of darkness. Yet, God’s LOVE and Mercies endures for his beloved crown of creation hence, JESUS CHRIST comes into the world. Paid with his life at the Cross but rise up in victory over death and sin.
In the death and resurrection of JESUS CHRIST the only way to the Truth and Life to God the Father in Heaven is restored back. In JESUS CHRIST alone lies our Salvation: counted Righteous and as Beloved Children of God, destined for an inheritance in HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!
Jesus Christ come down from heaven not to do his own will but to do the will of God the Father. John 6:38. Laying down his LIFE so that we may have a LIFE in ETERNITY and in abundance is the will of God. John 10:10. So, say yes to LIFE! Give your life into the loving hand of JESUS CHRIST. Your sins and shames met its death, is finished, crusified at the Cross with JESUS yet rising up and ever in victory and in his absolute holiness sitting at the right side of God the Father in Heaven.
