BENJAMIN WATSON, Former NFL Tight End

When Benjamin Watson was 6 years old, his father asked him an important question: “If you were to die tonight, do you know what would happen to you?” Benjamin said he didn’t, so his father shared with him a Bible verse — John 3:16. And after reading that verse, Benjamin prayed to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He was young and still had a lot of growing to do, but that moment was when Benjamin became a Christian.

If you were to die tonight, do you know what would happen to you? Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, what's holding you back? God's Word describes in Matthew 25 a place of everlasting punishment and a place of eternal life. The choice is yours. If you choose to place your faith and trust in Jesus, you, like Benjamin, can pass from death into life.
