Will ANYBODY wait for you?
The above video is absolutely breathtaking – IF YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT! I beg you PLEASE to read to the end.
Robert F. Kennedy the brother of US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on June 5, 1968. His brother John had been assassinated first, and Robert who the US Attorney General at the time of his brother’s death later went on to run for President as well. His brother had been so well loved, and he himself seemed to have so much to offer that he was seen by many as a great hope in a time of great divide, desperation, depression and distress.
He was not to become President however. After a regular meeting with supporters one day he was cut down at close range with a .22 caliber revolver. It was an absolute tragedy.
So what is the Video About?
SO WHAT IS THE VIDEO ABOUT? After his funeral service his body was transported by train to the place where it would finally rest. Apparently more than a million people with flags, banners and buckets of tears lined the tracks from town to town, for miles and miles and waited for his train to pass them.
Who Will Wait For Your Train?
I thought about it myself. We have only one life to live, and sure enough the impact will be felt when we die. The impact of my life will be felt by God and men, and every life will be likewise evaluated. I wonder who will wait on my train? Have you asked yourself?
Ask yourself.
How long will we continue in ineptitude and mediocrity, blaming dead slave-masters for our ignorance, close-mindedness, cultural conformity and cowardice.
“Oh Andrew please, we’re just human”…
We have so many obstacles besetting us today and yet, in this day we have been given so much more resources than ever before, and in fact, so much more resources than we even need to become individuals of substance, distinction and impact who influence a world in deep divide, depression and distress for good. What’s more, now that we know Christ, we are even more equipped; even more should we be stirred up, even more should we want to see our generation remembered for more than Sponge Bob and Busy Signal. Even more should we want to contribution to the weak ailing cause of good in the world instead of mindlessly fueling the mega armies of evil by our lusts and indifference. Even more should we know the futility of life and be driven not to waste it.
Answering One Objection
I can hear a voice saying “…well it doesn’t matter what people think of us, as long as God sees…the world will always hate us….not everybody is a politician or full of charm to sway thousands of people…”
Well I agree. The one we should desire to wait with showering praise for our train is God alone, but I don’t want you to be misguided and allowed to life a complacent life because of that ONLY SEEMINGLY humble theory.
If the people of the world scorn, scoff or just plain and simple overlook our lives, God doesn’t and the people of God are his people on earth. If you live for God, they will applaud.
Finally…the words from his eulogy
This was a paraphrase of the life of Robert F. Kennedy, read by his brother in his eulogy.
Some men see things as they are and say ‘Why?’ I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’
I stand ready to watch, to waive to cry as the trains of life nobly lived for God in this generation, one day, pass me by.
If you wish…you may listen his eulogy:
