"For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body, according
to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
2 Corinthians 5:10
One day a woman named Christina fell asleep in her bed,
and dreamed a very fitful dream. She dreamed that someone in
Hell
wrote a letter to her, and it was to be delivered to her by
a messenger.
The messenger passed between the lakes of burning fire and
brimstone
that occupies Hell, and found his way to the door that would
lead him
to the outside world. Christina dreamed that the messenger
walked to
her house, came inside, and gently but firmly woke her up.
He gave her
the message, saying only that a friend had wrote it to her
from Hell.
Christina, in her dream, with trembling hands took the letter and
read:
My
Friend,
I
stand in Judgment now,
And feel that you're to blame somehow.
On earth, I walked with you day by day,
And never did you point the way.

You
knew the Lord in truth and glory,
but never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.

Though
we lived together on the earth,
You never told me of the second birth,
And now I stand this day condemned,
Because you failed to mention Him.

You
taught me many things, that's true,
I called you "friend" and trusted you,
But I learn now that it's too late,
You could have kept me from this fate.

We
walked by day and talked by night,
And yet you showed me not the Light.
You let me live, and love, and die,
You knew I'd never live on high.

Yes,
I called you a "friend" in life.
And trusted you through joy and strife.
And yet on coming to the end,
I cannot, now, call you "My Friend."
M.
After
reading the letter, Christina awoke. The dream was still so real
in her
mind and sweat dropped from her body in pools. She swore she
could still
smell the acrid smell of brimstone and smoke from her room. As she
contemplated the meaning of her dream, she realized that as a Christian,
she had failed in her duty to "go out to all the world and preach the gospel."
As she thought of that, she promised herself that the next day,
she would
call M. and invite him to church with her. The next morning she
called
M. and this was the conversation:
"Yes, Bill, is M. there?"
"Christina,
you don't know?"
"No,
Bill, know what?"
"M.
WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT in a car accident.
I thought you had known."

Fellow
Christian,
is this your testimony? Are you teaching your friends
what you are with everyday? Or will there be a friend of yours in hell,
asking you why you did not tell them about JESUS? How many of YOUR friends
will hold you accountable for not telling them about Jesus and
His
love? The scripture at the top of this page is for you, the Christian. Yes,
you will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ, but not for your sins.
our eternal life was already determined when you trusted JESUS as your
own
personal Savior. But how many rewards will you lose at this judgment?

"And
I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and
the books
were opened; and another book was opened,
which is the book of life..... And whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire."
Revelation 20: 12a, 15
