The news of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan are devastating! It is grieving to hear of so many lives lost and shattered. It should move us followers of Christ to pray.
This Sunday our church will set aside a portion of our corporate worship service to pray in light of this news.
It should also remind us of something else: the time is now to share the gospel! Tomorrow is no guarantee! The loss of life is tragic. The loss of eternal life is even more tragic! God has graciously saved me and given me His gospel -- how can I hold that in? How can I not speak of the Only One who can truly rescue people from the despair of their sin?
We have a biblical responsibility to help those in their time of need - to ease physical suffering. We also have the responsibility to tell them the good news of Jesus Christ.
We are in urgent times -- the only answer, the only hope is the gospel of Jesus Christ!
