While waiting for his roommate (who keeps late night), a man fell asleep. He turned around to see aa huge dark figure with flaming eyes open his door.
He wanted to scream but all his strength was gone. Was it a dream or vision? He couldn’t tell. It stared deep into his eyes and handed him a letter which he opened and it read:
Dear Jude,
I couldn’t make it home last night because I died. I thought life after death was an illusion but I am here lonely and afraid, in pains and in
torment. The torture is unending. I can’t explain it but I am dying a thousand times in a second.
You never told me this place was for real and how to avoid it. We grew up together; went to school together and did everything in common but you never told me about this new life of yours. I asked you severally and you jokingly pushed it aside. I was a good man with a charitable heart but that doesn’t count here. The angel told me that I am without Christ and my name is not in the book of life.
I asked you yesterday morning what this born again stuff is and you said you didn’t want to bore me. I am in pain. Can you hear the screams, the torments of the great and the less? I am told it is for eternity.
You betrayed our friendship. You never told me sex was fornication but you cautioned me against AIDS. You never told me getting high was drunkenness. You just told me not to drive. You never told me lying was sin, all you just said was “don’t get caught”. I hate you for this.
Aaahhhh! aaahhhh!! I am dying again here but I am alive. The flames keep getting hotter.
I wish you were here. You deceived me to the end. If you had told me about Jesus and salvation I know I wouldn’t be here. I died only a few hours ago. I was drunk and ran into a pole but it seems I have been here for years.
Please tell my family and all our friends about salvation. I am dying again but death won’t come.
It’s me, Emeka.
The young man woke up at about 2:45AM with a banging headache and his phone started ringing. He picked it up and what he heard scared him to his bones. “Hello, Emeka is dead”.
Today is still another opportunity to tell someone very dear to you about Jesus Christ and His saving grace. I just told you because I will never want you to end up in HELL.
HAVE YOU TOLD SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS TODAY?
