“Daddy, please tell me about these stones!”
“Well, Son, these stones are loving memorials of departed loved ones. They mark the graves of moms, dads, brothers and sisters, grandmothers, grandfathers, neighbors, and good friends. Some are in memory of soldiers who died to preserve our freedom. These stones speak of our love and respect for the ones buried here.”
They also speak of Certain Death
They solemnly warn that you, too, must die. Longfellow wrote in the Psalm of Life: “Our hearts though stout and brave, like muffled drums, are beating…funeral marches to the grave.” The Bible also warns in Hebrews 9:27, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” When your body lies silent in death, where will your spirit be?
They also speak of Sudden Death
The gravestones grimly remind you that death is often sudden—that you might be hurled into eternity without a moment’s warning. A heart attack, a stroke, an accident…and your doom is sealed forever. A man to whom I gave the message of life rejected it and five hours later staggered and fell dead. Daily headlines scream lurid reports of instant death. Cars screech to sudden, blinding crashes—and earthly life is ended. Planes plunging like fiery meteors, crashing trains, terrifying tornadoes, sinking ships, raging fires, floods and accidents take their toll in human misery daily, leaving dismembered, broken, mangled, charred bodies in their wake. The Bible says, “What is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth” (Proverbs 27:1).
They also speak of Death for Old and Young Alike
Tombstones stand as mute testimonies that death may come at any age. A minister told me about a 16-year-old girl who rejected Christ at the close of his message. Thirty minutes later, she was dead.
Like a prowling panther, death snatches the baby from its mother’s arms. Death is a hideous monster that drowns the laughter of romping children and strangles the life of happy, carefree young people. It creeps into the happy home like a phantom giant to rob the family circle of mother or dad. Like a crawling cat, crouching to pounce in savage greed upon an unsuspecting robin, death stalks both young and old. Death is on your trail!
They also speak to Get Ready!
In stupid folly and utter madness, some say, “I’m not afraid to die—leave me alone!” What shocking unconcern! Friend, are you going to sink into total ruin without a thought of when or how you are going to meet God?
They also speak of An Empty Tomb
There is an empty grave in Israel. The Son of God lay dead and buried there, but He arose and is now seated at the right hand of God. No tombstone marks His resting-place.
The Bible says He died and rose again that “He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Hebrews 2: 14, 15). “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). “Through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins” (Acts 13:38).
The only way you can be ready to die, ready to live, and ready for the Lord’s return is to receive Him. Please make no mistake about it: salvation is not found in rituals, creeds, ceremonies, morality, self-righteousness, or sincerity. It is not found in a church or lodge. It is found in Him, the Risen Man at God’s right hand. You must receive Him as your Lord and trust Him as your Savior. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12).
A minister came home after his Sunday morning service and sat down to listen to a gospel broadcast while his wife prepared the noon meal. He bowed his head as the radio preacher prayed. He never lifted his head again. Silently, swiftly he was gone. But he was ready. Are you?
