Sudden death. ( Luke 23 v 38 v 43 )

George Whitefield said,''sudden death is sudden glory'', what a wonderful thought, of course it speaks of an after life in a place called heaven.Look out on this earth a one time beautiful planet.Oh yes there is still much beauty there to see,but we see so much that is fading,polluted ravaged and destroyed. Many species of animals have  have been annihilated,wiped out by mans greed,the rhino for its horn,to be used as aphrodisiac, surely the last thing mankind is an aphrodisiac' The elephant for its tusk,the whale was near hunted to extinction, and the weapons that mankind have developed could if used to their full extent would destroy us all.I do not believe that things will get better, we live on a fallen planted,the very creation,and the jewel of that creation, man ,manifests the evidence of that fall,in one way or another. When sin entered this world it brought with it ,as God declared it would,''you will surely die'',and so death has passed upon all of us. That it seems is all we have to look forward to,if only that where true,but alas, we have to pay a price for our sins, when God by that man Jesus will judge us,and for all eternity we will exist in Hell . Is that it? praise God,He is merciful,for He sent Jesus to die on a cross,that through His death our sins can be forgiven,if,I stress if,we repent ,and believe on Jesus to be our Saviour,then like George Whitefield, we can say,''sudden death sudden glory''.
