In 2003 he was accused of rape! He settled out of court with the woman. His wife Vanessa then filed for divorce. Kobe was quoted as saying he needed to turn to God! He went to his Catholic Priest which he says changed his life! He and his wife got back together and started a foundation to help young kids develop their athletic skills! I do not know Kobe’s relationship with Jesus Christ? Hopefully this priest pointed Kobe to Christ. That is the job of any pastor or priest! They cannot save you! No church or organization can save you! Only Christ! How important is Sunday School for children since he lost his daughter in the crash? How important is Christ to the rest of the accident victims? Most of us do not look to God until we need him! I met Jesus through my failures! Never my successes! I had the luxury of coming back from the dead! After that experience there was a heavy burden on me to reach the lost for Christ! This burden has continued on for over 50 years! It is my purpose for living on my borrowed time! I understand some people are fools enough to reject Christ anyway but my mission was established on my death bed! After that I live for Christ! Life is short but eternity is forever! Kobe got in that helicopter hundreds of times! I have gotten in aircraft but one of those aircraft went down! I have been in four auto accidents over past 50 years! When I was in grade school our school bus got hit by another auto and our bus rolled over in the ditch! Everyone has an expiry date! When I expired and found Jesus and nothing can compare with this experience of his love for us! Death is no longer a threat to me! Jesus conquered death for us! However like Kobe I must do my job the best I can with the abilities Christ has given me to reach the lost! I must run my race for the prize! I must not miss the mark! The prize of Christ in me the hope of glory! I would rather follow Christ alone than to have a million followers! People cannot save you! Do you want to follow the only one who can save you? It would be foolish not to! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
