What World Are You Living For?

Many stories have been told of people visiting other “worlds”; traveling by some (usually unknown) means to another planet, universe, dimension etc. Usually, their time in that other world changes them, and often they try to find a way to return. Their life in this world is lived in light of that other world. What world are you living for?

Death Is Not The End

In so many ways, death seems like the end, and in some ways it is. It is the end of an earthly life, the end of an earthly relationship. For Christians it is also the end of suffering and pain and, ironically, the end of death. There is more after death. It is not the end of everything, only of what is earthly and temporary. What we believe about God determines what will follow death; life or torment. That is what happened at the first Easter. Jesus defeated death so that it was no longer the ultimate end. We don’t have to fear death anymore. We have victory through the power of the cross and hope in the empty tomb. For those who believe in Jesus, we can look forward to eternity after death in paradise with God. And though we will continue to lose those we love, we need not mourn for them, only for us, for they have seen the end of suffering and pain! If they and we have found true life on earth (salvation) we will share in eternal life in heaven and we will see them again. We can rejoice in death!
