Praying for Air France Flight 447
Tuesday, June 2, 2009 at 06:58AM As we pray for the 228 people presumed lost on Air France flight 447 somewhere in the deep of the Atlantic Ocean between Brazil and France, and for those who love them and are afraid to be left behind, remember that God calls us to pray for each of our neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family members who are lost because they don't know Jesus.
Flight 447 was cruising normally when something so sudden happened that the pilot had no time to make an emergency call. The plane has seemingly just disappeared. Was it wind and hail? Lightning?
Whatever happened, it was unforeseen. But those we care about who don't have Jesus in their hearts have an end in sight that is foretold in the Bible. When all of us are separated by Jesus at the time of judgment, Matthew 25:41 and other scriptures tell us that the unsaved (those who don't accept Christ's gift of grace) will be separated from God eternally. It wont be a sudden catastrophe like the fate of the lost Air France jet; it's been foretold and retold again and again.
Pray for and love those whose loss you will mourn eternally unless their hearts are moved to love God for the gift of grace.
