Are We Blinking Our Lights?

While driving along a two-lane road in the Hungarian countryside, a car passed in the opposite direction and blinked its lights, then another car passed doing the same, then another. 

Were they warning us of an upcoming speed trap like drivers in America sometimes do? 

Sure enough, several miles up the road was a radar car.

This universal desire to help fellow drivers avoid a traffic ticket gave me a convicting thought. 

The Bible says, “Whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them” (John 3:36).

That’s far worse than a traffic ticket.

“For the wages of sin is death [eternal death], but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

If people in the world are interested in warning others of an upcoming speed trap, we Christians should be far more interested in warning people of the upcoming judgment.

Dear Christians, let's make sure we're "blinking our lights" (Matthew 5:16).
