Total Recall

I received a recall notice in the mail for my car this past week. Something about a malfunctioning steering system. Yeah. So I opted to schedule an appointment rather than wait for the steering wheel to become detached. Smart. :O

We don't have to be experts in discernment when someone sends us a postcard telling us we are in danger of dying. We usually don't want that to happen to us. Dying that is. We are thankful for the warning and the car company taking care of it for free.

Did you ever think about that? Why they repair your car for free? It's because the alternative - a wrongful death lawsuit - is probably more expensive than the fix. It's cheaper just to fix the thing and move on.

And what triggers the recall in the first place? How many people have to die before Detroit figures out, "Hey, there's something wrong with the steering system"? Probably one too many.

It's good having people who tell us when something is wrong. It can literally save our lives.

My wife and I like the commercial on television where there's a guy in the dentist chair. The "dental monitor" looks into his mouth and tells him something is terribly wrong. Then he and the dentil hygienist leave saying, "Oh, I'm not a dentist. I'm a dental monitor. I just tell you when you have a bad cavity."

The poor patient asks, "Where are you going?"

He desires to have his problem fixed but is then abandoned by the very person he believed could do that.

Jesus is far more than just a sin monitor. He can fix our sin problems simply by our placing our hope and trust in Him. And He has promised to NEVER leave us.

Look, we are all in danger of dying. It can happen at any moment. The question is, "Are we ready?" If this was your last day on earth, where would you be spending tomorrow? The choice is yours. Your destination location is up to you. Heaven or hell?

Most people wait to the last possible moment to consider Jesus. They're too busy. Too busy to make the most important decision of your life?

Hey, we ALL have a sin problem. Get that problem fixed today by placing your faith, trust and hope in Jesus. Do it before something in your life breaks and "free repairs" are no longer an option.
