Asleep

Apparently while preaching one day John Wesley was alarmed to discover several members of his congregation had fallen asleep. 'Fire! Fire!' Wesley suddenly cried whereupon the guilty parishioners jumped with alarm. 'Where?' They demanded glancing around. 'In Hell' Wesley replied, 'For those who sleep under the preaching of God's Word.' -John Wesley
When I saw this I could not help but laugh. I could see the people jumping out of their seats looking around in panic. Then I started thinking of the reality of the world and how so many are walking around this world asleep. When they jump up, it wont be in a church but the gates of hell. Their eternity will be set in stone and they will ask, why did someone not wake me?Why do we walk around our friends, family, and co-workers while they sleep in their sins? Do we look at them and say, I wont disturb them, they look like their are happy just the way they are.If we love them, we will wake them by all means. The living waters of Christ can wake the sleepiest of sinners but you must share Him first. Go, wake somebody up today.
