In Las Vegas yesterday, 22000 people went to a country music concert, and 58 of them died in an awful shooting incident. One man in the space of minutes ended the lives of 58 ordinary people, and injured hundreds of others.

In another part of the United States, singer and songwriter Tom Petty died unexpectedly, possibly of a heart attack.

Did any of these people expect to die at this time? They were just going about every day life, not expecting that “every day life” was about to stop.

None of us knows when our time on earth is about to end.

The decisions we make now determine our destiny in eternity. Only those who sincerely follow Jesus will be allowed into God’s kingdom.

In 2 Corinthians 6:2 Paul says, “I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.” 

We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but we can reach out to God today and receive His salvation. If you have never asked Jesus to forgive your sins do that today.  Then ask Him for the grace to live His way, and join a church where people will be able to help you grow in Him.
