John Lennon was tragically shot and killed in NYC 41 years ago.
John was a supremely gifted singer/songwriter and leader of the legendary rock band, The Beatles.
John was abandoned by both his mother and father and was on a search since his childhood.
His song with the Beatles, "Help!" was just that.
A cry for help from a searching young man.
John is remembered for many things, such as saying that the "Beatles were more popular then Jesus". But here is something you may not know about him. John made a profession of faith to follow Jesus Christ. His diary was filled with entries about it and he even wrote at least two Gospel-themed songs. He did appear to walk away from it later, but did he ever stop believing in Jesus? I don't know.
John's last record was titled, "Double Fantasy".
In one song that did not make it on the LP called "Help Me To Help Myself" John wrote
“So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind 'Cause I know deep inside I was never satisfied, oh no, no Lord, help me, Lord, Please, help me, Lord, yeah yeah yeah.”
After John was shot, he was driven to the hospital in a police car. He was still conscious. Did John call out to Jesus in those last moments of his life on earth? Again, I don't know. But if he did, God heard his prayer and answered it.
I believe There will be three big surprises when we get to Heaven.
Some of the people we thought would be there won’t be.
Some of the people we never thought would be there will be.
And surprise number three, because of God’s faithful promises, you and I will also be there.
