The devoted father awoke on that lazy Saturday morning surrounded by his family. His beautiful wife and young children were all lounging in the bed that morning, laughing and giggling and talking about the day ahead. But the father was thinking. Thinking deeply. He’d been putting something off for a long time. Too long.
He picked up the phone and called the preacher where he had attended with his wife for many years. His message was short but clear, “I’ve been laying in the bed with my family this morning, and I do not want them to be somewhere in eternity where I’m not with them. I need to meet you today and get baptized right away.” He was baptized for the forgiveness of his sins that morning and lived the life of a Christian with and before his family. What about you? Do you have family and friends who are going to be somewhere in eternity where you are not with them? How about making that right today? Don’t wait any longer (Acts 22:16)!
