“Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Matthew 24:44 (ESV)
I attended a funeral last week for a 39 year old single father who suddenly and tragically passed away. Both pastors who shared in the service were related to the young man and shared family memories as well as clearly presented the gospel. One of the memories shared was related to the song “If Tomorrow Never Comes” as made famous by Garth Brooks. For those in my generation the song is instantly recognizable as it was a #1 hit at the time. The song is a sad romantic ballad that begs the question throughout – what if tomorrow never comes? It caused me to do a little self-reflection on life, let me pose a few questions that ran through my mind:
If tomorrow never comes have you made peace with God?
If tomorrow never comes do you have any unresolved conflicts within your family or with another person you need to resolve?
If tomorrow never comes have you done a few simple things to take care of your family like a last will and testament and a living will?
If tomorrow never comes is there someone you know you need to share the gospel with one more time?
