Three Persons on an Airplane

This is a small story that one of my brother shared in the fellowship, and I think it is worth to share with other people.

There is an airplane flying in the air. Suddenly the airplane is hijacked by another airplane of terrorists. The airplane almost lose control. There is an announcement in the airplane:

"Becareful, the airplane is hijacked by terrorists, please be aware and be on guard all the time!"

In that airplane, three of the passengers have different reactions toward that announcement.
Person A - He believes the hijack and feels very afraid.
Person B - He feels that the hijack is just an illusion.
Person C - He knows about the hijack, but don't really care about it.

Suddenly the airplane is hijacked once again, and this time the airplane lose control, many passengers injured and some of them died. There is a small paper notes passing among the passengers:

"Caution! Airplan lost control! Please takes out the safety jaket below your seat and put it on. When the signal light near the emergency exit is lighten up, please jump out from it."

When person A has read the note, he passes it person B, and quickly wear the safety jacket, and waiting for the signal light to be lighten up. When person B has read the note, he said, "There is some grammar and spelling mistakes in the note, so it is untrue." Then he throws that note on the floor. Then person C takes up that note from the floor. When he has read the note, he said, "Hmm, very true, that's a good idea." So he folds the note and keeps it in his pocket.

What will you tell that 3 persons if you are also on the plane? If I am on the plane, this is what I will tell them:
Person A - Good job, keep your guard, and make sure you continue to follow the instruction on the note, and you will be safe.
Person B - Stop being so stubborn, the hijack is true. If you continue to sit on your seat doing nothing, you will die together with the airplane.
Person C - Don't just merely knows it, but take action. Put on your safety jacket.

These three persons reflected 3 different attitudes toward God:
Person A - He believes in God and obeys His commands.
Person B - He don't believes in God at all. For him God is just an illusion created by human.
Person C - He knows that there is God, but he didn't obeys God's commands and keep following his own ways of life.

So ask yourself, you are person A, B, or C ? Once I was person C, I recognised that there is a creator who created the world, but I never follow Him. Later I realised who am I, and now I am person A.

I want to finish this post with a verse:
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Acts 2:21)
Amen.
