READY TO GO ?
A man decided to arrange his funeral
He picked his burial plot and chose the inscription for the head stone .A Minister who knew him well heard that he was busily preparing for the inevitable day. So he sought him out and said to him “I understand that you have done everything you can possibly do to provide a resting place for your body. have you given any thought to a resting place for your soul.?” The man was stunned by the question for it was true that he had not thought about getting ready for the life to come. After listening to what the minister had to say explaining the good news of Jesus he placed his trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and found assurance of eternal life and rest. wise is the person who makes that all important preparation because everybody will spend eternity somewhere
Those who believe in Christ, and that means those who actively love him, seek to serve him and live as he teaches us to do, will enter the kingdom prepared for all who love Him. Those who reject Christ will enter into everlasting fire (Matthew 25 vv 34 and 41) so taught Jesus
No one knows when their death will come. A friend of mine who claimed to be an atheist died suddenly in bed of a heart attack at night a month after retiring. But we can be and should be ready. The Bible says “Whosoever calls on the Name of the LORD shall be saved” (Romans 10 v 13) Nothing you can do on Earth is more important than making sure that you are ready to go. Most of the life we were born to, lies beyond death, and it is w to prepare for it
Oh to be ready when death does come
Oh to be ready to hasten Home
and sweetly gently to pass away
From Earth’s dim twilight and into Day
Only those who are ready to die, are ready to live.
JESUS SAID I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." John 14 v 6
We must not be fooled by those who teach any other way to GOD and we must help others to see that Jesus Christ is humanity’s only hope. By trusting him as Saviour we will not end up on a River of Disappointment
“Humans grope their way through life’s dark maze
To gods unknown they often pray
Until one day they meet God’s Son
At last they’ve found The
Living One. Have you?
Those who put their hope in Christ will never be disappointed
