Dear friends:

One of my favorite comedy movies is Ghostbusters, and one of my favorite lines from that movie is, "Who ya gonna call?

The other day I was thinking about that question in regards to people who have ignored Christ all their lives and rejected Him, when they pass into eternity, after leaving their bodies.  My question to them is "Who ya gonna call?"

The departed people will be in outer darkness, in a Christless eternity, in need of a Savior at this point more than ever before.  But they've got  nobody to call.  They do not know Him.  In their life on earth, they told Him, in effect, "Stay out of my life."

Another way of saying this is, "Who's gonna meet you"?

Who’s gonna meet you?

 
A dynamic and popular black preacher put it this way in his typical plain and folksy language: 

Whatcha gonna do when you die?  Some people think you are just going to be in nothingness, it's just going to be the end.  Oh, have you been deceived!  How can you take the advice of somebody who's never died? I am taking the advice of somebody who died but got up on the third day!  I'd rather take the advice of somebody who has been there, done that!  I got a Jesus who died, and got up to tell me all about it!  And then He said, “Death and hell have been defeated.”  So I am going to take His word.

 

But when you die, to be absent from the body, and you did not get born again, that means when you die and your spirit and soul comes out of your body, you now have to look around to see who’s gonna meet you.  Will angels meet you to escort you to the gate of heaven, or will demons meet you to escort you to the gate of hell?  You can’t say you believe in heaven and not believe in hell.  There is a hell.  There are demons.  There is a Satan.  There is a place called hell. There is a God.  There are angels.  There is a heaven....

 

What you gonna do, man?  It’s gonna happen.  And you get a chance to live 40, 50, 70, 80 years­to make one decision!  People don’t go to hell because they do bad things.  People go to hell because they reject Jesus….

 

(Some may say…) “Well, what are you trying to say, that your religion is the only one that's right?”  YES!  I’ve been trying to say that for 25 years!  YES!  There is nothing that can compare to what Jesus has done on the cross.  Nothing. 

(Some may say…) “Why don’t you get all the religions together to show unity?”  I don’t want to be unified with something that denies Jesus.  Have a meeting by yourself!
