The Moment of Death

I had a relative I loved

He died when I was a teenager

Friends and family talked to him

About accepting Jesus to have God\'s forgiveness

He refused throughout his life

The day he died his wife was there

He started talking loud then screaming

He was asking for more time and another chance

She said the way he died she knew he went to hell

She was so upset she wouldn\'t tell all that happened

Choosing to take to the grave all the details

 

Crying for weeks after, she kept saying she was petrified to die

Don\'t let people here who hate God, or in your life deceive you

There is eternal consequences for rejecting Jesus as Savior

 

I never saw fear in my relative while he lived here

Whatever he saw while dying was terrifying to him

Remember, though we have difficult lives here,  we have love here too

No matter how bad it is here

This is not hell

I never saw him scream about anything seen here either

What he saw was something new 

Something never experienced before

Something terrifying

The relative of this write went to church for over 40 years. He told another relative of mine shortly before he died, while at church, \"You really believe this stuff huh?\" Why he went to church all those years when he didn\'t believe only he knew.
