Obey and Live

Obey and Live: On the morning of October 25, 2010, the Indonesian Government raised the alert for Mount Merapi volcano to its highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 20 km zone were told to evacuate. Over 350,000 people were evacuated from the affected area and were saved. However, Mount Merapi erupted, killing 353 people and injuring many more, because many residents living in the risky zone of 20 kms, refused to leave their homes to look after their belongings and many other evacuees returned to the zone during the eruptions to take care of their cattle. There are people who do not obey the authorities and may even pay with their life for their attitude. Unfortunately, the same thing happens with God. Jesus told us what we must do to live after death, but many refuse to obey, risking their eternal life for their attitude. This is why Jesus said: You have eyes, can’t you see? You have ears, can’t you hear?’ Do not risk your life, follow Jesus and live.
