S. The Big Fool.

The Big Fool. by Peter Pett Do you know the story about the rich man who, after much hard work and ‘using’ of people, to say nothing of bankrupting quite a few, was able to look round at his achievements and say, “Well, I’ve just made my financial men give account and I reckon I’ve about got enough. Now I’ll sit back and rest and enjoy myself with boats, birds and beer”? That night a voice said to him, “You big fool. Tonight you are going to die. Now YOU have to give account to God” That was a story Jesus told. The truth is none of us ever know when we will have to meet God, so isn’t it sensible to be ready? But being ready means a life time commitment. Not to the church, nor to religion, but to Jesus Christ Himself. You see when He was crucified it was instead of you. He was there because of what you have done (or failed to do). He, the one who had not experienced sin, was made sin for you, so that you can be put right with God. But He rose again. Now He waits for you believe His word, commit your life to Him and give Him permission to change it as He sees fit. Why don’t you let Him?
