Francis Chan Rope Illustration

I know a guy, just retired 6 months ago. healthy, happy, he was an accountant. he always talked about enjoying the next 20 years to their fullest. ....... he died last week. no one knows why yet..... he wasn't saved, I had at least half a dozen chances to witness the Gospel to him. I never did. we are all one breath, one heartbeat away from standing in the presence of a Holy, and mighty God. JESUS said I Am the light, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through ME. you can deny him, blaspheme him, ignore him, make every excuse under the sun to not believe in Him. laugh at him out of your pride and arrogance since you don't need God, you know more than God, you know more than History, you know more than the evidence, you are just perfect little god. you shake your puny little fist at him like the big man that you are. what then will you say, when you are face to face with this Holy, and Angry God? because you will get there, today for some, tomorrow for some others, we all will meet him. what excuse will you have, to keep him from throwing you in the fire? HE WHO SENT HIS SON TO BE TORTURED and killed on the ROMAN CROSS for those of us like yourself who deny and blaspheme him. so that by receiving Christ we may have eternal life by Grace through faith in Christ. what will you say?? why didn't you cleave to Christ and instead followed a religion? why did you deny Me? repent, turn to Christ.

Everybody's got different perspectives, you never know what's gonna happen tomorrow, the next day, or the next or even when you die. But don't please anybody but yourself, live your life and give it meaning. Anything and everything's available to make it happen in this world, but live life in a good meaningful happy manor. Not evil.

what the fuck does this guy want is to do then, not live life?

GUYS GUYS GUYS!!! Some of you are missing the point! You are gambling with your lives on earth because you can't see (Or you don't want to listen) about the future and what is in store for you in the afterlife!! I challenge each and everyone of you to just sit down and think, "What is there for me when I die? What is there up there? Would that God love me?" I challenge every single one of you to think, because there is for a fact something there because nobody has proven it wrong, you may think in your head that there is no God and play games in your head, but I challenge you to take that gamble and trust Jesus that he died for our sins, remember... all we have on earth to decide are these few years on the red part of the rope. What you do now effects you forever and ever beyond what we see or fathom. I'm praying for you all

What a great illustration for the amazing message of the gospel. The cares of this life are nothing compared to what lies ahead.

you are agree with the Prophet mohammed & Ibrahim

Amazing <3

Mind control at its finest again. Typical of religion.

I keep on watching this vid again & again..such a great sermon💙🙏🏻

Best example ever wow

great illustration. thanks

I saw this a long time ago & had to dig it back up since it was so good. I was just wondering does anyone know where in the bible he was referring to when he mentioned Paul?

I'm going to go ahead and focus on the red part because the white part isn't guaranteed. call me a fool if you want but like i said one is reality and the other isn't guaranteed and there is no proof that life after death exists.

Awesome illustration!!!!!!!!!!!

At 2:10, "PRETEND that this rope goes on forever". I think that pretty much sums it up.

wow

what Scripture is he referencing?

thank you Francis Chan, it was mind opening.
so touched by the message and the illustration. God bless and keep inspiring young minds.
