The Robredo Tragedy


Jas 4:14 "... what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away."

It is sad to know that DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo passed on to eternity. They found his body 800 meters from the shore of Masbate and 180 feet below sea level. His body was found inside the fuselage of the plane. Our condolences to his family. 

Death came so suddenly, unexpectedly and without warning. Nobody thought it would happen on that fateful day like you do not expect that you could go today. We usually think that "Lights Out" will happen to somebody else, but not me, not now. 

It is wisdom to learn to "number our days" (Ps 90:12), to realize that we are living on the edge of eternity every single moment and to know that "life is short, death is sure, sin is the cause, Christ is the cure."
