We are encouraged to plan ahead.

“PLAN AHEAD: ….” I read today in the paper called VIVA. VIVA comes with THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD. In this issue of VIVA I read a lot about Los Angeles and readers are encouraged to do the following planning for next year: THE PALM SPRING INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL from January 10-21.

“Plan ahead: It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.” I received that encouragement to plan ahead some time ago.

Can I also encourage you to plan ahead?

Please plan ahead: The BIBLE says, “And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered…” (Hebrews 9:27, Authorized Version). Of course we don’t know the time of that appointment and we cannot write that appointment in our calendar.

But that appointment is coming for all of us. We must keep that appointment with death. We are born with that appointment.

What is the remedy? In the Lord Jesus Christ the one true remedy is found. By believing on the Lord Jesus Christ spiritual death is cured.

What does it say in John 5:24? “I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes in him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”
