Roller Coasters
Do you like roller coasters? Whether you like them or
not, sometimes life can be like a roller coaster ride.
As we were driving and listening to the radio the
other day, a news report told of a woman that had died
after falling out of a roller coaster. Witnesses said
that they saw the young lady standing up while the
ride was in motion. What she apparently thought was
safe and ?fun? ended up ending her life.
Life certainly can be like riding a roller coaster. It most
certainly has its ups and downs. Life without
Christ though is like riding the roller coaster and
taking off your seat belt. Some people think they can
go through life being invincible. They don?t think
they need Jesus, and they take risks that are very
deadly. And without Jesus, it means eternally deadly.
Christ goes with us through the ups and downs and
brings us safely home?to heaven?to be with him. Those who
do not have Christ are thrown to an eternal
suffering. It is our job as God?s children to make
sure our fellow man is safe (Mt 28:18-20). Our job is
to check seat belts. Share Jesus with them.
