Lessons from the Titanic: The Eternal Question of Being Saved or Lost - A sobering Christian reflection on eternity, salvation, and the only status that ultimately matters
The Titanic was presumed to be the largest, safest, and strongest luxury ship in the world before it embarked on its disastrous maiden voyage in April 1912.
All kinds of people were welcomed on the ship for its first voyage: the rich, the famous, the elite, women, children, families, and staff of the ship were all happy to be on board. It was billed as the ship that could not sink, but it sank on its first journey from Southampton to New York. This was one of the greatest tragedies of all time.
After the ship sank, two lists were presented at the offices of The White Star Company (the company which built the Titanic). The list was simple. It had only two sections: ‘LOST’ and ‘SAVED’.
People came to read these lists to find out if their loved ones had survived. Interestingly, before the journey, so many things were important. Whether they worked on the ship or were on vacation? Whether they were rich or poor. Whether they were millionaires or peasants. Whether they were stockbrokers or not. Whether they were in first class or economy class. Whether they were men or women. Whether they had a lot of luggage or not.
But after the sinking of the Titanic, none of these things mattered anymore. Only one thing mattered – whether they were saved or lost.
Dear friend, that is how Eternity will be. A time will come when none of the things we have on this earth will matter. A time will come when it will not matter whether you are a man or a woman. A time will come when it will not matter whether you are rich or poor.
What will matter is whether you are ‘LOST’ or ‘SAVED’ on the day you die and meet your creator. Give your life to Jesus today! And if you already have, live for Him! Please share this with all your contacts. It could just be someone’s chance to get into heaven.

Meditation: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. – 2 Corinthians 5:10-11
Through the Love of Christ, Our Savior, All Will Be Well!
