Life Is Fragile

By Kurt Cameron Bennett

Today a dear friend of mine from Sweden named Matthias asked me a question about the end times and the second coming of Christ. It was something I had already studied a little, and after hearing a variety of opinions from a variety of brilliant minds,

I have to say,

I have come to the conclusion that,

I don’t know!

But here’s what I do know.

The best way for us to live is to live as though we could find ourselves face to face with Jesus at any moment. Even if we’re not living in the end times, life is fragile. Any one of us could die at any time in any number of ways and find ourselves face to face with the Lord. (Matthew 24:42-51)

I so appreciate my brother Matthias.

He asks great questions.

Kurt Cameron Bennett is a writer best known as the author of the book Love Like Jesus. After attending church and studying the Bible for most of his adult life, he was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus’ every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus’ words than he was following Jesus’ words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett’s own moral failures affirm he wrote Love Like Jesus for himself as much as for others.

Before becoming an author he served as a firefighter in Medford, Oregon. He was born in Chicago, Illinois. He currently lives in Hillsboro, Oregon, just a few miles from his son Gabe, daughter (-in-law) Charise, and grandson Andrew. He has another son Nate and daughter (-in-law) Anastasia who live in Sammamish, Washington.

His blog, God Running is a place for anyone who wants to (or even anyone who wants to want to) love Jesus more deeply, follow Jesus more closely, and love people the way Jesus wants us to.
