Who Will You Be Held Accountable For?

One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed, and dreamed a 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. Louise dreamed that the
messenger walked to her house, came inside, and gently but firmly woke
Louise up. He gave her the message, saying only that a friend had wrote it
to her from Hell.
Louise, 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."

Marsha

After reading the letter, Louise 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 has 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 Marsha and invite her to church with her. The next morning she called
Marsha and this was the conversation:

Yes, Bill, is Marsha there?
Louise, you don't know?
No, Bill, know what?

Marsha WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
I thought you had known.

Fellow Christian, is this your testimony? Are you
teaching Christ to your friends that you are with everyday? Or will there
be a friend of yours in hell, asking you why you did not tell them about
JESUS?

Deep letter, don't you think? How many of your friends will hold you
accountable for not telling them about Jesus and His love? It is every
Christians mission to share the gospel message with all. It is not just the
Preachers, Elders, and Deacon's that were commanded to teach the Gospel.

Jesus does not ask you to tell the world, like you have a choice in the
matter. He commands us to tell the world! God's purpose in our life's was
not just to "get us saved" if it was, once we were baptized into Christ and
received his gift of grace he would have taken us to Heaven at the moment
of obedience! His purpose is for us to tell the world of His Son Jesus!
