Thinking about the “hereafter”
Acts 20:21
Michael Guido shares the story of two elderly ladies who were sitting on their front porch. One asked the other, "Sally, I was wondering, do you ever think of the hereafter?"
"All the time," answered Sally. "I go to a room, I look around, and then I say, "What did I come here after?" That may be cute, but we can't forget the next world, while we are living in this world here below.
There are many people who live as if this is the only life they will have, and as if there is no hereafter. We have to apply in person for eternal life, for after we die, it is too late to make reservations.
The Bible tells us "today is the day of salvation". "Tomorrow may never come, and one cannot afford to wait for a more convenient time. The sands of the hourglass never stop and one day time on this earth as we know it, will be over. We must be ready to meet the Lord at every moment, for we know not the day or hour of His appearing or when we shall be called to our final destiny.
There is only one right road that leads to heaven, and the way is straight and narrow. There are many on the broad path which leads to destruction, but the good news is that they can turn to Jesus and be converted.
We give thanks to Jesus for being our living Lord in whom we have salvation, love, joy, and peace. Remember, we are just traveling through this world. What we do each day counts for all eternity. May we always be prayed up, and ready to go up, spiritually.
