Jun. 6, 2008 - Where are you going when you die?
I know, it's a serious title for such a lighthearted and playful blog. I have been thinking about this today and last night though. Let me tell a little about the story.
Yesterday, my best friend's husband lost his mother. No warning, no goodbyes, no more "I love yous". She was a healthy 56 year old woman whom God called home. He needed her yesterday and not a day later. The family is still in shock and disbelief. They thought they had years more to enjoy hot summer BBQs, sloppy grandkid kisses, and long telephone calls after the kids went to bed. They will miss her terribly even though they know she is in Heaven right now. Their one comfort is to know that she is with Jesus.
I say all that to ask again, do you know where you are going when you die? The Bible tells us that there are only 2 options, Heaven and Hell. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? That is the only way to Heaven. It really is simple, you acknowledge that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, then you pray and ask Jesus into your heart. Jesus knows you, he loves you.
We don't know how long we are here on this Earth and that is why there really is no time to wait and see. Jesus is real and Hell is hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of July.
I know I'm going to Heaven, how about you?
