London Disaster

I write this piece as the London Bombing disaster is unfolding . Mindless terrorism that devastates lives .What will it achieve ?The answer is absolutely nothing . It always always strengthens the resolve of its victims . When will they learn that it is pointless.

What about God in all of this, some of you may be asking .Why does he allow it to happen ? The answer is simple ......God has warned us that this kind of thing will happen and that it will continue to happen until he returns on the last day. In fact he warns us that it will get worse as that day approaches .

We live in a fallen world , a world that has turned its back on God and because of our turning away from Him the world is crumbling ......The good news though is that even in all of this we can have the certainty of a heavenly eternity if we simply put our trust in Him .

Jesus was asked about a natural disaster that had occured just down the road from where he was speaking ....read what he said about it ...Luke 13:1-5

They asked Jesus whether he thought the people who had been killed where being judged in any way .......Jesus said no .....they were no worse or better than anyone else .......He simply made the point that we should all be ready to die ......Are you ready to die ......have you trusted in Christ .

Somber stuff I know .....but then life and death are serious issues.
