Scene of an Accident

My last night on earth. I remember the party.

Then in an instant, like a dream playing in slow motion

the bright glare of the vehicle approaching in the darkness.

I had no time to give God a thought.

I didn't have time to think,

let alone to ask Him for forgiveness.

It all happened so fast.

 

The sirens, the lights.

People hovering over my mangled body.

"It's too late ... too late," one says so sadly

as she tried to resuscitate me.

My life on earth is over.

No time for a second chance.

 

Sorrow shakes my father's voice holding back the tears.

"Yes, that's my boy..." he says reluctantly, 

 acknowledging his worst fear.

 

Death seemed so distant then

to a teen so full of life.

No papa! Don't feel that way!

It was my fault, my guilt...

WHAT AM I DOING IN HELL?!

 

What have I done that was so awful

to be thrown in such a place!?

I HATE you satan! You lied to me!

You said I'll be with my friends,

that we'll party day and night.

There's no friends here!

No party, you liar!

All I hear are the groaning of souls

crying out in the darkness.

 

How could I've been so stupid?

Let me die, God... Let me die!

I can not bear the thought of losing you mama!

There was no chance to say goodbye.

 

I just wanted to be cool then,

to blend in the crowd.

I'm among the crowd now, mama.

There's no exits here in hell.

Dear Soul,

Every day, thousands of young people

like yourself die without Christ.

Their lives are suddenly snuffed out

without giving any thought of eternal life.

 

God isn't willing that anyone should perish.

He has made a way of escape through the shed blood of His Son,

so that all who will believe in Him might be saved.

 

The Scripture says,

"For God so loved the world

that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believeth in Him should not perish,

but have everlasting life."

         ~ John 3:16

 

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus

and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead,

thou shalt be saved."

                  ~ Romans 10:23

 

Don't fall asleep without Jesus

until you are assured of a place in heaven.

 

Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life

first you must believe in the Lord.

You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven

and place your trust in the Lord.

There's only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus.

That's God's wonderful plan of salvation.

 

You can begin a personal relationship with Him

by praying a prayer such as the following:

 

"Dear God, I am a sinner!

I am sorry for my sins.

I want to turn from my sin .

I receive Jesus Christ as my Savior;

I confess Him as my Lord.

From now on I want to follow Him.

In Jesus' name, Amen."

 

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

                         ~ Romans 10:13

           "According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world..."

                          ~ Ephesians 1:4

 

If you decided to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior

 

after reading this invitation, please let us know.

We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.

We'll leave the light on for you...

Welcome to the family of God!

 

We are excited about your decision to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior,

and would like to encourage you to find a local church

that you could be a part of to help you grow in your new walk with Him. 

Also, we encourage you to develop a personal relationship with the Lord

by reading the Scriptures and to pray to Him often.

Talk to Him as you would talk to a dearest friend.

He desires that closeness and intimacy with you!

 

"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:

he shall gather the lambs with his arm,

and carry them in his bosom,

and shall gently lead those that are with young."

                ~ Isaiah 40:11
