In July KSBJ, a local christian radio station, hosted a concert at the Kemah boardwalk. One of the band that played was 'Revive.' While they were playing one of their songs I had a thought occur to me. What if at that moment Jesus came back? In that instant? How many people would be left standing there? We were at a Christian concert with the whole boardwalk packed with people, yet how many people would be left behind? Honestly, some, if not most, of the people would probably be left standing there wondering what happened or why they didn't get to go. It seemed fitting because the song that was playing was 'Blink' some of the lyrics of it are:
"It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink"
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink"
Its left me thinking for a long time, and later that day on the ride home I got to share that thought with the youth group that I was with. And I asked the question: "Would you be left standing there?" It grew very silent in the van.
How many people do you know would be left behind? Would you be? Those are just some questions to ponder and also to act off of. Go become 100% certain you'll be going and also go help make sure your friends are 100% certain because who would want to be left behind?
