Accident waiting to happen: Part 2

Luke 23:26-31" If they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"

Back when I worked for a multinational bank, the 'weekend lethargy' fills the air right from Thursday, people plan different kinds of fun , different kinds of eatery outlets etc., just not the pagans, the Christians too don't think of Sabbath day, Bible or God, they are ready to compromise church for work.

Pain, suffering or trials are not in their dictionary, they think they can skip, hop, jump and escape them but Jesus said, 'do not weep for me but weep for yourself.' When I went to visit a patient who had undergone cancer operation, the patient was talking to his son-in-law and said ' the pain was unbearable' his son-in-law an alcoholic replied, ' why should you suffer when today you have the best pain killers available? '  I looked at that insane, stupid guy who later got divorced and lost his very well-paid-high-position-job too, he thought he can get away from all the sins he had committed. Such people are referred to as Dry tree!

Illus: Train accident: West Bengal train crash:

On 17 June 2024, two trains collided in Darjeeling district in the Indian state of West Bengal. A goods train collided with Sealdah–Agartala Kanchanjunga Express, a passenger train near Rangapani railway station. 11 people were killed and more than 60 were injured. Human error, disregard for signal, automatic signalling system down - all combined caused the deadly accident.

There's something more, how do trains operate when automatic signals break down?
As per railway officials, the loco pilot of the freight train that rammed into Kanchanjunga Express drove the train at a speed greater than prescribed limit in situations involving signal failure. Did you see that? There were multiple failures that suddenly led to such colossal tragedy and misery! The tragedy was an accident waiting to happen!!!
Accidents waiting to happen: When a situation that is likely to lead to disaster or misfortune, especially because of negligence or neglect, it is said to be 'accidents waiting to happen.'

Many lives are like the above train crash today! Are you listening?

Examine your life today: divorce, neck deep debts, fatal diseases etc., do not just pop up suddenly, may be they are the result of living without God and His values for a very long time! Repent today!
