Kobe and others.

Yesterday I was saddened to hear that Kobe Bryant and several others lost their lives in a helicopter accident including his thirteen year old daughter. Kobe was an exceptional basketball player. When news channels learned of his death it was all over the news and social media. It got me to thinking about all the other people who died yesterday but nothing was said about them. Statistics say about 150,000 others died yesterday but we said nothing about them and to God they are just as important!

God says in His word:

2 Peter 3:9 

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Every person, every soul is important to God and that is why He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sin. We need to be reminded often that there is only ONE way to heaven and that is Jesus.

I pray that Kobe and the 150,000 others that died yesterday knew Jesus and spend eternity in heaven if not then they spend eternity in hell. This is why it is so important we spread the gospel!!!

Everyone is important to God, let us never forget that!
