The King of Pop Now With the King of Kings?

According to an article on Christianity Today's blog, there is some speculation that Michael Jackson may have become a Christian shortly before his death. Apparently, Jackson met with Gospel singer Andrae Crouch and his sister, Sandra, who also happens to be a minister. There was some discussion about Jesus and the annointing of the Holy Spirit. They did pray together as well.

Jackson was raised in a Jehovah's Witness home and was forbidden to celebrate Christmas. When the Crouch's visited with Michael this month, there were still Christmas decorations in his home. As my good friend Mark Jarvis always says, "Every day is Christmas when you celebrate Jesus!"

With so much speculation surrounding Michael Jackson's death, it is important to consider his eternal life. With so much stardom, money, popularity and worldly success, none of it matters now. Where he is right now depends on the authenticity of his search for Christ and the annointing of the Holy Spirit. We can't know for sure, but we can hope that the King of Pop is now dancing on the streets of gold for the King of Kings.
