“WE’RE OUT OF TIME!” Those were the chilling final words spoken by the co-pilot of N722BD, a Bombardier Learjet 60, a moment before it crashed into the ground at over 600 MPH on Sunday, November 1, 2026, in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people aboard. What that pilot said was true in a far more profound sense than she may have realized. The minutes appointed for her life and the lives of the other eight people aboard that aircraft had finally counted down to zero. None of them boarded that plane expecting it to be the last day of their lives. They were on their way to the Bahamas. They had plans, hopes, and things they intended to do tomorrow. But tomorrow never came. The Bible warns us: "For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them." (Ecclesiastes 9:12) The same is true for every one of us. Somewhere a blood clot may be forming that will suddenly stop a heart or block an artery in the lungs. Cancer cells may be multiplying unnoticed in a vital organ. A drunk driver may be approaching the intersection we will pass through on our way home tonight. Or an ordinary flight may encounter extraordinary conditions from which there is no recovery. We don't know when or how our time will run out, but we do know that eventually it will. The question is not whether we will run out of time, but whether we will be ready when we do. And the only way to be ready is to have already closed with Jesus Christ by faith, trusting not in our own goodness or righteousness, but in His perfect righteousness and His atoning death for sinners. Jesus Himself promises: "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." (John 6:47) Notice that He says has, not *might someday receive.* The believer already possesses eternal life in Christ. Death may come suddenly, without warning, but it cannot separate those who belong to Jesus Christ from their Savior. So don't put off the most important decision you will ever make, presuming that there will always be another day, another opportunity, another hour to repent and believe. One day you, too, will be out of time. Make sure you are not out of Christ.
