You would ask that question too if you had died of a heart attack and then were brought back to life.  That’s the situation of a guy I met on visitation this morning.  I was able to spend more than an hour trying to help him see that God brought him back so that he could make things right between him and God.  He believes that he’s basically a good person, so God ought to let him into heaven.  He’s been through many rough things throughout his life, but his greatest need is to find peace with God through Christ.  He wants to come to church tomorrow to check things out at Westside.  Please pray that he will come.  I’ve been asking the Lord to send us someone whose life gets transformed by the gospel and then because of that fresh experience of grace in salvation encourages us to be more zealous and also reaches out to his/her lost friends with the Word of God’s grace.
