Summary: Recently, we heard about a ship that sank in the Mediterranean. The passengers didn’t find out about it until it was almost too late. 20 of them died. The crew didn’t give the information to the passengers on time and they were faulted publicly. You know, when a person dies without Jesus Christ, it’s too late to come back to God, to repent or to receive Jesus Christ. That’s why it’s so urgent that we tell people today and every day when the opportunity rises, about Jesus Christ. Carl Henry, the famous Christian author and writer, said, “The Gospel is good news only if it arrives on time.” How true that is with the illustration of the ship sinking in the Mediterranean! In 2 Corinthians 6 it says, “In the day of salvation I help you, says the Lord. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” That sense of urgency; we have to keep in our hearts and in our minds, incessantly. People are sinking and they are dying without Christ. It is our privilege, it is our duty, it is our bounden duty as the old timers used to say - to tell them how to be saved and not to sink in the eternal hell forever.
