One of our friends wrote in with a question. He says:

“I'm a Corrections Officer, and alot of the inmates know I'm a Christian. They ask me questions about the Bible, and I try to answer them the best that I can. I don't have a problem talking to them about Jesus. Majority of the inmates on the yard are in for drugs, however there are inmates that are in for more vile crimes such as child molestation etc. Am I suppose to witness to them also? Can they be forgiven for these kinds of crimes? Thank You for your answer...God Bless You...”

People like to believe that they are “good” people. When confronted with the argument 
for the rationality of hell or God‟s judgment, they typically argue that they are “good” people, 
they never hurt others on purpose and they do not understand why God would be so cruel as to 
punish those that “do not do anything really wrong.” Ironically, these statements are typically 
followed up with, “well I know I do not go to church as much as I should,” or “I am not a „slut‟,” 
or “I do not lie very often,” or any number of other justifications for the sin that is in their life, 
but does not seem “too bad.” Comparisons of God to a cruel abusive father, who seeks pleasure 
out of punishing one child to satisfy His wrath against another, have even been made. The 
hypocrisy of it all is that most of these people spout that they know that sin is what gets one into 
hell and sin is what Jesus came to take care of, but they do not actually think they sin. Sin is that 
dirty word reserved for murderers or rapists or any of the people that commit those 
“unforgivable” sins, but never is it something that “I do!” That is where people are wrong.

So I’m surfing facebook tonight, which is a rarity these days, and I see that Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, has passed away. He was the man who pioneered so much of the technology we take for granted today, yet not even he could escape the reality of death. Seeing all of the comments, posts and articles about his death, reminds me that no one escapes that final life experience, not one of us.
