You know it is in you. It just seems right. In fact, when you visit a friend in the hospital or attend a funeral, you know something just doesn't seem right. Death rightly seems like in a invader and alien in our human experience. Why? Simply because we were meant to live forever.
Eternity has been placed in our heart and human experience from the very start of our lives. While any kind of death is sad to experience, perhaps the saddest form of death is not being prepared for eternity. That is, being ready to live "forever".
The greatest book to influence mankind, the Holy Bible, says that eternity and a life of living "forever" can be ours as a gift. John 3:16. In fact, at this point in our human experience, we can't live forever, or experience eternity unless we accept it as a gift from God. We can't earn it, deserve it, or work for it. We can only accept it as a free gift.
The next time we visit our friends in the hospital or attend a funeral, let us remember the truth about human existence and eternity. God has created us to live forever and enjoy his friendship and love. May our experience of living forever and eternity begin today as we get to know the personal God who is offering us a life without any end. John 17:3 .
Yours,
Pr. Sal Garcia
