Nothing could more picture the enemies desire to use someone for his evil purposes and then chew them up and spit them out (straight into hell) like the recent passing of superstar and world-known Michael Jackson. His bald, sickly frame was resting in a coffin and the world tried to regurgitate some good memories about this fallen star and yet without some supernatural intervention not known by the world he has entered the place of torment for the beginning of forever. What a sad picture!

The once self-proclaimed king of pop was once an icon like no other in whom women fainted and throngs adored. His sale of over 750 million albums shows that talent galore and dance moves for the ages doesn’t mean a hill of beans when faced with the realities of life, love, and eternity. Never finding true love, living in a constant cloud of suspicion over numerous bazaar habits, and destroying his body with more surgeries than we will ever know left the legacy of MJ more than tainted. All who look at this should remember that to be on the top means nothing in light of what really matters.

To me it all seems more than sad. Tragic doesn’t even begin to describe what was of a life lived in fame untold. Despite all his fame and riches he died like every other human will one day and passed through the portals of eternity to stand and give account before an Almighty God who desperately wanted to save him but if not called on could not.
In a day where celebrities are worshipped and then humiliated (see Brittany Spears) young people should be careful in their exaltation of anyone and even more leary of the desire to be lifted up in human glory.
Isa. 2:11-Human pride will be brought down, and human arrogance will be humbled. Only the Lord will be exalted on that day of judgment.
