What Is Worse Than A Massacre?
What Is Worse Than A Massacre?
We have all seen the pictures and the video footage. A killer was loose on a college campus. He killed thirty-two people and then he killed himself. Now come the questions: How can this happen? How could he do that? Are our kids safe? But there are also a few questions people don’t want to touch on, so let’s get straight to them. Where was God on a day like that? Well, we have asked God to leave our public education system, therefore, it doesn’t make sense to ask where He was at on that day. Look again at that day. Evil was written all over that day. You can see the fingerprints of Satan everywhere you look. Satan was a murderer from the beginning and he still is. So, where are those people now? I know that there will be funerals, and that bodies will be put in caskets, but where are the souls and spirits of those people now? We know there is a heaven and a hell. The Bible is very explicit about that. It is easy for people to say the killer is in hell, but what about the other thirty-two people? Where are they now? Being a teacher and a student doesn’t get you into heaven. Blocking the door so a killer doesn’t come in doesn’t get you to heaven. Being a great kid to your parents doesn’t get you to heaven. Straight A’s on report cards don’t get you to heaven. Where are all those folks now? 2 Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” And remember that you can’t ask those folks now about eternity. It is too late. Ezekiel 33:11 says, “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD,
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn
from his way and live...” Thank God for second chances though. We all need them, and He gives them to us many times in this life. Now what are you going to do with the time left? Will you still keep Jesus to yourself, or will you now make your bold stand for our Lord? If you could talk with any of those folks that died, everyone in hell would want to come back, repent of their sins, and become born again—but it is too late. Any of the people that died and went to heaven, would only want to come back for one thing—to tell some lost soul about Jesus. Why? It is one thing you can’t do in heaven. You can’t tell a lost soul about why Jesus was crucified for their sins. So will you use your time wisely in the coming days to reach those lost people for the Lord? Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.” Please Christians don’t live your life more selfishly
than a mass murderer.
