It's High Time!
"Now it is high
time to awake out of sleep;
for now our salvation is nearer than when
we first believed."
Romans 13: 11
Dr. J. Frank Pantridge was a cardiologist at Royal Victoria
Hospital in Belfast. He knew that people who die from heart
attacks often do so within an hour of the attack.
In 1965, Pantridge developed the first portable
defibrillator and had it installed in an ambulance.
His invention has
helped paramedics around the
world save many lives.
When it comes to spiritual heart trouble, believers are like
God’s paramedics. The Lord has stationed us all over the
world to provide the medicine of the Gospel urgently and
effectively. We sometimes think there’s lots of time left for
us to share the Gospel with someone. But maybe not!
We never know when the other person will die, when we
ourselves will be called to heaven, or
when Lord Jesus
will come for us in the clouds. The brevity of life and the
imminent return of Christ must motivate us to share the
Gospel whenever, wherever and to whomever we can.
Today, look for an opportunity to share
the Gospel with someone in
need!
"The gospel is only good
news if it gets there in
time."
Carl F. H. Henry
