My wife recently read out a news report about a murder… the unique name sounded familiar and sure enough, the victim was someone I knew briefly in my previous ‘life’.
As I looked at the news photo of his house, I could remember vaguely doing drugs with this guy. Carefree, fun loving and generous, this person now bludgeoned to death, would never interact with anyone again…
How many people did I meet in these dark years, that are no longer alive? It is impossible to know. Even of the people who came to my house – there are many I don’t remember.
I had 3 other reminders this week of just how precious, fragile and fleeting life really is.
Are we ready for what is next? It is not some pie in the sky idea or myth, and religion doesn’t change anything.
The only ’thing’ that can prepare you for the life that last forever? Jesus. The living, breathing, raised from the dead after dining on the cross, Jesus. He is the King of the universe – and will be forever.
God created you, He knew you and planned you before you were born. He gave you life and has protected you repeatedly. Over and over you have failed Him and done things you know He hates. But despite all that, He willingly sent His Son to the cross for you.
All because of love. Everything you own, see, taste, touch and care about now – they will all be nothing. All that will remain is God’s Kingdom and those who have been awakened to it.
Trust Jesus Today! Follow Him Forever!

How many more people did I meet who I would never see again?
