Just Passin' Through

               “All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.” As certainly as we came into this life; we shall pass from it again. What profit is there in life seeing that it must end? If that were the whole story—there is no point in anything but to eat, drink and be merry. However, there is more to life than this world. Our life here is like a vapor. We walk the valley of life only long enough to decide the existence and justness of God. Once this matter is settled and we have given our judgment, it is God’s turn to judge.
               “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.”
               Christ doesn’t appear to us the second time as a suffering savior. The second time we shall see Him as He is. Judgment Day is not a far off, post-Apocalypse, meeting in the air. Judgment Day comes the moment our hearts beat no more. At that moment our fate is sealed. There will be a day when men stand before God to give an account of their life. This is not the judgment. It is our last word before sentence is carried out.
               Today, while you are working out your eternity, remember this question.
               “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
