Hong Kong set a sad record last year. Over 1000 suicides and it was the most in a year since 2007.

We will not know the reasons why people killed themselves but there are clues out there. We can guess it was because of a lack of jobs, Covid, lack of socializing skills, mental health problems, not knowing God, and many other reasons.

We feel sorry for these people because suicide is an offense against God. Therefore, most (but not all) who succeed in killing themselves will go to Hell.

We do not say all because we do not know the judgment of God for any person. We can only hope that before meeting God they are sorry for what they have done and seek mercy from God.

If someone you know is threatening to end their life then try to turn it around before it’s too late for them.
