Who do you know that is playing in the street?

What would you do if you saw a small child playing happily in the middle of a busy istreet? Would you care enough about that child to run out and grab them and lead them to safety? Even if it meant the child would throw a fit and start crying? I certainly hope that you would. Or would you be the type of person who would say. Who am I to judge that child? What they do is their own business. Again I would hope not. Even though the pain and unpleasantness you would cause for that child for just a little while it will be good for them in the long run. However we do tend to leave adults to play in busy streets so speak. Do you care enough about someone to tell them the truth of the Gospel? Or do you say who am I to judge? Or what they do is their own business. Not telling someone about the Gospel is like letting them play in the street. Sooner or later death will come, it is inevitable. Do you care enough to tell them that without Jesus they will spend eternity in Hell? Even though they may throw a fit, get mad, or whatever else comes to mind. Do you care enough to warn them of the dangerous street they are on?

If you are reading this today and you have not yet put your complete trust in Christ and repented of your sin and lead a changed life you are playing on a busy, and dangerous street. If you play there long enough terrible things will happen.

2 Corinthians 7:
⁸ I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while. ⁹ Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. ¹⁰ For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
