What a fool

Q) What do you call a person who goes to cross a road, but in the middle of the road he stops to look at the cars driving by- thinking about how one day he is going to drive a nice car too. And he looks at the children and the women on the other side of the road, thinking how he wants to have a family- but he misses the cars heading towards him – and SPLAT!

A) a fool!

Why is he a fool? Because in the process of thinking and planning about his future- for events which may or may not happen- he stops thinking about what is definitely happening in the present (the cars speeding towards him!)

How many people think like this fool in life? They make plans for their future- for events that may or may not happen- but neglect preparing for that single most definite event!
So you see them preparing and planning for their education, their jobs, their careers, their children and their families, - but with no guarantees that they will be successful in their plans. They have no guarantee that all the events that they plan for – their jobs, their promotion, their careers, their graduation from university, their children, that perfect partner to settle down with- will even come to pass!
And while they get lost in all of this- they fail to plan for the most definite event in life-that single event that will be guaranteed to happen- DEATH!

Yes, it’s coming towards you like that car in the road!
But unlike that car in the road you don’t know what speed it’s hurtling towards you at!
When will you get hit by death?
Do you think you can afford to wait a while?
Do you think you have time before it hits you?

Imagine an invisible car on that same road speeding towards you- you don’t know when it will hit you!
Do you think you will have time to jump out the way before it hits you?
How many people have made plans for the future only to have death hit them before they realised their plans?

Only a fool stands in that road ignoring that carriage of death speeding towards him!

So how do you prepare for it?
Only if you know what will happen on impact!
But who knows what happens when death collides with us? What can tell us what happens when we die? No one has ever come back from the dead to explain it.

But there is another way of knowing. And it can’t be through guesswork- you have to be sure! You only get one chance to prepare yourself-so you have to be certain!

There is one way of being certain…and I’ll give you a clue:
What is death? Is it not just the end of your life? So shouldn’t you be asking:
“What gave me life?”
“Is there a creator of this universe that gave life to all that is within it?”
“If there is a creator that created life, wouldn’t it also know the secrets of what happens after life?”
“How would I be able to even know if this creator has communicated these answers to us anyway?”
