The Second Man

The second man was my daddy who almost died a year and a half before he did, but God would give him another chance by using my sister who purposely didn't tell the doctors about his living will.

 

Although earlier in life, my dad had said that you didn't need to believe in Jesus, when he was 88, two weeks before he did die, he asked “What must I do to be saved?" in dying seriousness and sincerity.

 

He was encouraged to believe on Jesus Christ alone and His shed blood and His Righteousness provided through His death and Resurrection from the dead for the remission of sins and not to trust and take pride any longer in his own “righteousness" (which none of our own righteousness, which is imperfect and unholy, can a Perfect, Holy God accept),

 

My Dad didn't wait to call upon the Lord to be saved — without being asked, he began to pray. Not only was it the first time I had heard my dad pray — he said to me: “I can’t wait to see Jesus" - clearly he had a peace that his sins were now forgiven.

 

“Jesus said…l am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
