One of my best friends is a trucker. He used to drive cross country but after taking a wife with two kids took a lower paying local route to be home every day. He drives Visalia to San Fransisco every night. Last night he called me all shaken up. A six car wreck happened right in front of him on a hwy 99 (three lanes ) He went to the fog line but refused to go to the dirt with cars spinning around he drove thru the middle without a scratch. What is werid is a mutual Christian friend called him up about 3 mintues before and told him,"be careful, there are alot of wrecks on 99"
Thought you'd appreciate that story....like your post ...will comment after my chores are done.
However, on the other hand, we are all different parts of the same body doing different jobs as called to. Yeshua may reach the .001% of people you and I can't reach with Jesus. ....just my humble opinion.
I agree that a lot of Christians fear the unknown. We can all say we're not afraid of dying... Paul tells us that to die is to gain, and as Believers, we know this to be true and we are comforted by it. However, until you actually face the reality of death at your door, when death is imminent, the fear of the unknown, even when it is known, or the fear of dying, how will it feel, will I suffer, can and does become evident in some people as they are dying, even those with great faith. I've seen both sides. :nicenurse:
Fear of death,is just one of the many things which Believers are faced with.
I know this is only a hypothetical situation.
How about this:
You are working and need to pay bills,Yet you know of another believer who has been out of work for over a year and at the moment cannot pay their own bills,and faces eviction.
Would you trust Yeshua to provide for your needs, and
Would you help this person,or turn your back on them.
Then what if Yeshua does not provide,would you help out another,or just be concerned for yourself.
Only a hypothetical question.

ps:
Remember Yeshua uses these situations in order for the believers to see what is within their own hearts.
Ha-Satan uses these times to seperate the believers from trusting Yeshua,and from also being a Blessing to those around them.
