“...By the cross He offers hope, by the resurrection He assures
His triumph."
--Chuck Colson (source)
If midnight were to represent the moment of death and ten minutes represented advance notice of when death would occur, what would be the response of the mind, the heart, the soul?
Some think "there is time enough. I can decide later, when I am more ready. When I have more time...."
Some people cling to nonsensical thinking due to actions or superstitions of religion that have put them off: I read that Salman Rushdie said when he ate ham and did not die he knew that God does not exist.
The most recent news of death that has caused grief and rejoicing: born-again Christian servant of Christ to prisoners and all people he cared about due to Christ--Charles Colson.
We do not know the time of our midnight; therefore, there is no point in waiting until "10 minutes before our midnight" to be sure we know, with confidence, where our soul will go upon death, as our lifeless body remains behind until that glorious Morning.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
(Psalm 116: 15)
