An Unobservant Policeman

An Unobservant Policeman

In 1992, a Los Angeles County parking control officer saw a Cadillac that was illegally parked. The officer ignored the man sitting in the driver's seat and after writing the ticket, reached through the open window, and placed the ticket on the dashboard.

What was even more remarkable was that the driver was dead. He had been shot in the head hours before and had his head slumped down with blood on his face. The officer was so so preoccupied that he did not notice this and drove away.

All around us are people who are dead in their trespasses and sins, yet many Christians are so preoccupied with their own needs they do not give thought to their eternal destiny. Even worse many Christians focus on the offenses of the lost rather than their needs.
