Your time on earth is short. Each closing year, each setting sun, each tick of the clock is shortening your days on earth and swiftly, silently carrying you on—on to eternity and to God. The year, the day, the hour, the moment will soon arrive that will close your life on earth and begin your song in heaven—or your wail in hell. No future hour will come to bring you back to earth again; you will be there forever—for eternity.
Today your feet stand on time’s sinking sand; tomorrow your footprints remain, but you are gone—where? Into eternity.
Today God points you to the cross with the Son of God uplifted, bleeding, dying—and all for you. Yes, for you the crown of thorns circled His brow—for you the soldier’s spear brought the blood from His side—for you He cried in triumph, “IT IS FINISHED!” For you there is salvation today. Accept it unconditionally, as a sinner, and you will be saved for eternity.
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).
