So just about 2 weeks ago, I lead my wife's grandpa to Christ, and this morning, I got a phone message that he died! Life is so short, and he made the most important decision of his life right before he died. Some might ask (even I asked the question) how is grace extended to someone who rejects God for so long be in heaven because saying a prayer 2 weeks before they die? God remindeded me of the theaf on the cross and Jesus knew that this man was going to die that day. Jesus did not say that when you get off the cross, I want you to follow me and share with your friends about me, what He said was "Today you will be with me in paridise." We was someone who mostlikly was far from God too his whole life, but came to Jesus in the final moment and we have the reassurance that God's grace was still extended even in the last few breaths.
I just wish he could have lived for Jesus a little longer and shared his transformational story with others. Praise God that he was soft enough to turn to jesus in the last days!
