“Between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.”
Luke 16:26
On meditating on the above verse there are two things. One is “that those who want to go from here to you” and the second is “nor can anyone cross over from there to us”. The latter we understand that people in hell with a view of heaven will want to get to heaven but the first part says those who want to go from heaven to hell. This word can be put to explain no one can cross over but let us think if any one would want to do that if so why would any one who after all trials and tribulations in this world now in the presence of our Almighty Lord and glorious riches in heaven will want to go back to hell. If yes, the only answer would be to save their loved ones who lost their eternity. But it is not possible.
“Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” Heb 9:27
I use to look at my old family albums and I could see the family members who have left this world and think whether did they get their salvation and wonder how they would have faced the Lord.
Today we have a lot of family and friends who have not experienced our Lord’s salvation and still among us eating, drinking and travelling with us and the only person who knows what happens to them is us who are saved through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ through his Grace.
The Bible says, “It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart”. Eccl 7:2
I saw a few deaths in my extended family, my friends recently and I see most of the persons were not ready to face our Lord Jesus Christ.
Bible clearly states, “Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water”. Heb 10:22.
Without salvation and covenant with our Lord Jesus Christ they will lose their eternity. Let us have this burden which our Lord Jesus Christ has about every soul who are yet to return when we meet them, eat and travel with them so that God through you can save them.
Prayer: Heavenly Father we pray for the burden you have, to be poured on us and always to be mindful about the souls who are not yet saved and always act on it by the guidance through the Holy spirit that they will receive the salvation we share through your Grace. Amen.
Sol.Leo
