Serious Times
We are living in very serious times. We never know what the next minute holds for us, or that we’ll have a next minute. I ask you, if you should die in the next second, do you truly know where you will go? Years ago, that very question haunted me. I knew there was a Creator God. I only had to look at the night sky to see that, or at the birth of a baby. But after death — then what? I certainly knew I was not coming back here as a worm or anything else. Reincarnation was not for me. So what was for me?
I will never forget when I got the news my dad only had six months to live. He looked me in the eyes and said, “Judy, I need to know where I am going!” Dad had grown up going to church, but he and my mom had long gotten away from all that. Now, death at his door brought the question, “Where am I going after I die?” I remember asking him, “Dad, Where do we start?” and his response was — the Bible!
Like any book, I started reading at the beginning, Genesis, and kept on reading aloud through the entire Bible. In the process, we discovered the truth of eternal life. As we read, God’s truth pierced our hearts and we both received Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord! We found the promise that not only do we have a citizenship here on earth, but also in heaven! Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let me ask you, “Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt where you will spend eternity?” I pray you do know.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
