The tragic Washington D.C. plane crash that occurred on Wednesday was not just an aviation disaster—it was a jarring reminder of how fragile life is. In a matter of seconds, lives were lost, families were devastated, and an ordinary day turned into a nightmare.
But beyond the headlines and the investigations, this event carries a profound spiritual lesson for all of us. Are we truly ready for eternity? The victims of the crash had no idea their journey would end that day. If today were our last, would we be prepared to meet God?

Life Is Fragile—Tomorrow Is Not Promised
Did 9/11 Really Spark a Spiritual Revival? The Shocking Truth Revealed!
We live under the illusion of control. We schedule our days, plan our futures, and assume we have time. Yet tragedies like this aviation disaster remind us that life can change in an instant.
The Bible warns us of this truth in James 4:14:
"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."
The passengers aboard that plane likely had schedules, meetings, and dreams for the future. But in a single moment, their earthly journey ended. This raises a sobering question: If today were our final day, would we be ready to face eternity?
