Speechless

Speechless. Ever had a moment where something was said or something happened that completely left you speechless?  I was on a conference call this morning and someone asked a question of one of my colleagues, who is never short on words, and there was absolute silence on the line as we waited for him to answer. At first we thought maybe he was on mute and forgot to take it off when he started talking, but after a few seconds we knew that wasn’t it. After a couple of jokes about him being left speechless, we realized he must have lost connection and dropped of the call. Within a few moments he had dialed back in and we were on our way again.

That brief little moment of silence and the thought of being speechless made me think about that moment when our eyes will get to see Christ. There are examples of Biblical men and women seeing God, Christ and angels, where that event left them completely speechless. I think of the men traveling with Saul on the road to Damascus, as they heard a voice but saw no one and it left them speechless (Acts 9:3-7).

There will be two groups of people that are speechless on that day they stand before God. There will by those that have accepted Christ as their Savior and they will stand there speechless and in awe at what Christ had done for them, how He took their place in paying for the punishment of their sins. There will also be a group that stand speechless before God as they will have no argument for the punishment they will receive. They will come to the understanding that they missed their chance at salvation here on earth and there are no arguments or good works that will gain them entry in Heaven. They will stand speechless and condemned.

I don’t know which group those who are reading this post will be in, but I pray that we will all be in the group that is speechless at what Christ has done for us. If you don’t know what group you will be in, repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith. Admit you are a sinner in need of a Savior and that the only way to a relationship with God is by accepting what Christ did in your place by taking the penalty for your sins on the Cross at Calvary. Contact me if you have questions or need to know more. I’d be glad to help you understand your need for Jesus.

Have a great day and God bless.
