There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”(Luke 13:1-5 ESV)
Life is not always "fair". The two events in this paragraph brought people to ask "why?" Was there some hidden sin that brought this event as judgment? Though these things do happen as a result of sin in the world, "innocent" people suffer sudden death. That's the main point - being ready at any time, not just "being good," but repentant, realizing we all have sin in our lives, even if it's "not as bad as the other guy."
