Always Amazed

Michael D. Rourke Events 0 0

Listening to the comments of people who either praise
someone alive or express their regret about the death of someone they knew
always amazes me.

Inevitably someone will say, “just being around him
made you feel better, he gave you so much hope.” 

One-or-two-seconds pass before I notice the amazing
difference between both realities of life.

Then it happens the amazing truth hits me. Not one
person mentioned God or heaven, and they spoke of having hope.

Captured in a slight muse I pause slightly then ask
myself a foreshadowing question, “what are they hoping for?” 

Do they hear themselves say “so much hope?   What hope are they referring to?  My answer never changes.

Their short hope is in this life. They are living in the false reality of life on earth leading to death. Their hope stops at death.

My lips move as I softly wonder aloud, “do these people ever think about the grave and then what?” Do they consider heaven and hell?”

Because God is real, God’s truth jumps up in a thought. His Word is the only truth in the universe. Thanks to Jesus I’m living in God’s true reality.

My life on earth is temporary and tiny in time, time that’s constantly less.

Thank God. My hope is heaven, my hope is in the return of the living God, Lord Jesus Christ. Eternal heaven is mine to look forward to.

1 Peter 1:18-21 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)

18 knowing that you were not [a]redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from
your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but
with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the
blood
 of Christ. 

20 For He was foreknown before the
foundation of the world, but has appeared [b]in these last times for the sake of you 21 who
through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead
and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
