Who Will You Be Held Accountable For?
One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed, and dreamed
a dream. She dreamed that someone in Hell wrote a letter to
her, and It was to be delivered to her by a messenger. The
messenger passed between the lakes of burning fire and
brimstone that occupies Hell, and found his way to the door
that would lead him to the outside world. Louise dreamed that
the messenger walked to her house, came inside, and gently
but firmly woke Louise up. He gave her the message, saying
only that a friend had wrote it to her from Hell. Louise,
in her dream, with trembling hands took the letter and read:
My Friend,
I stand in Judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
On earth, I walked with you day by day,
And never did you point the way.
You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
But never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together on the earth,
you never told me of the second birth,
and now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you "friend" and trusted you,
But I learn now that it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the Light.
You let me live, and love, and die,
You knew I'd never live on high.
Yes, I called you a "friend" in life,
And trusted you through joy and strife.
And yet on coming to the end,
I cannot, now, call you "My Friend."
Marsha
After reading the letter, Louise awoke. The dream was still so
real in her mind and sweat dropped from her body in pools.
She swore she could still smell the acrid smell of brimstone
and smoke from her room. As she contemplated the meaning of
her dream, she realized that as a Christian, she has
failed in her duty to "go out to all the world and preach the gospel."
As she thought of that, she promised herself that the next day, she
would call Marsha and invite her to church with her. The next morning she
called Marsha and this was the conversation:
"Yes, Bill, is Marsha there?"
"Louise, you don't know?"
"No, Bill, know what?"
"Marsha WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I thought you had known."
Fellow Christian, is this your testimony? Are you witnessing
to your friends that you are with everyday? Or will there be
a friend of yours in hell, asking you why you did not tell
them about JESUS?
Deep letter, don't you think? How many of your friends will
hold you accountable for not telling them about Jesus and
His love? It is every Christians mission to share the gospel
message with all. It is not just the Pastors, It is not just
the Deacons. Jesus does not ask you to tell the world,
like you have a choice in the matter. He commands us to tell the world!
