Near miss

They call it a "near miss", but what it really is, is a "near hit." A close brush with death is a frightening and sobering thing. Christians sometimes forget how close we came to dying - we would face death if Jesus hadn't stood in our place. For those who don't yet know Jesus, death is a very real possibility, for there is only one name by which we can be saved (answer: Jesus' name). The will to live is the strongest impulse known to humankind. When the gravity of the situation hits us,we will turn to God with the most important request we can ever make: "grant me my life." We find that request in Esther 7:3. May it be your request too. Sunday, June 17, 10:30 a.m.
