ETERNAL LIFE

ETERNAL LIFE

A good Christian friend passed away this past weekend. He was a blessing to many people. Though he passed from this life on earth, he will live in eternity with all the believers, with Jesus Christ and our God. I was reminded of the words from a song written by Gerald Crabb and sung by Randy Travis, “Oh Death:”

“Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave

            Where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me but

            You were wrong I’ve been set free.”

John 3:15 says: “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” We do not perish, we pass.

‘With God’ there is no time. So when we take our last breath on earth, we are ‘with God.’ Our next conscious moment we are ‘with God’ —I don’t believe there is any conscious floating around time or waiting time. We die, we awake, and we are in heaven with family, friends, pets, Jesus Christ, the patriarchs, God Almighty being the center of all, in the most beautiful and wonderful place ever, beyond anything we can imagine. We get to do everything we ever wanted to: fish, swim, explore, sing, read, play and so much more!

For now we praise God for His everlasting love here and in Heaven to come.

“Oh death where is thy sting, oh grave

            Where is thy victory

You thought you had a hold on me but

            You were wrong I’ve been set free.”

Bye Dave. Love you my brother.
