How Can I Be Judged?

CJ was sitting in the breakfast room at Castle Inn where we stayed. Others came and went quickly as we started chatting about Jesus. TJ immediately wanted to know about those people in other parts of the world who don't get a chance to hear the gospel. Would a loving God send them to Hell? We talked about Psalm 19 that man has creation to show them God.  We talked about the conscience which means, "with knowledge."  

CJ was defensive and claimed he has a brain injury which prevents him from understanding everything. Would God send him to Hell? His heart filled with anxiety as the Holy Spirit is drawing him. He insists that he is a good person "most of the time."  A struggle is going on for his soul. The Good News is told to him, grace is issued from the throne room.  CJ feels the tug and his struggle is weak. This fish doesn't know what to say. A long pause. Finally CJ thanks us and stands to leave. A few minutes later he is found pacing outside smoking on a cigarette. Is he pondering?

The kingdom was near to this man today!
