A young girl 16 years old drove her car to the grocery store. Her mother was raking the yard. It was a fall day. When the girl came back from the grocery store, she hadn't been driving long and wasn't familiar with how to use the car that well and she was going far too fast.
When she came to the intersection that turned towards her house there were some wet leaves that had blown out into the road and she skidded on the wet leaves and she slid into a tree and was thrown into the steering wheel with her chest and her head went through the wind shield. The car door opened and she fell out on the ground.
Her mother up the street raking leaves saw the entire thing. She heard the tires screech and watched the car hit the tree. She ran down the street with all of her strength. She fell down and pulled her daughter's bleeding face up into her hand. As she looked down into her daughter's face, here is what the girl said to her before the mother could say a word. The little girl looked up at her mother and said, "Mama, I'm going to die. Mama, I'm going to die." Her mother expounded, "No you're not honey! You're not going to die! Everything is going to be alright, just stay calm."
A neighbor ran out onto her porch and the mother yelled, "Call an ambulance." The neighbor ran back in and called for help. The daughter said, "Mama, I going to die." The mother again replied by saying, "No you're not honey." This happened three times. The girl kept saying she was going to die. Her eyes were wild, blood was in her face. Again she said, "I'm going to die!"
"You're not going to die honey!", said her mother. "I promise you the ambulance is on its way you're going to be all right."
What that young teenage girl said next has haunted me ever since the day I first heard this. The little girl looked up at her mother and said, "Mama, you taught me how to dress. Mama, you taught me how to put on my makeup. Mama, you even taught me how to dance. But Mama, you never taught me how to die!" And she died in her mother's arms.
Friend, do you know how to die! If it came today, where would you go? It's either going to be heaven or hell. Christ in your life is the one who makes the difference. It's not whether you are a church member or not. It's not whether you are good or bad. It whether you know Jesus and have accepted him into your life. Christ is the one who makes the difference!
