Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die,yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11: 25-26
Last night I was watching a documentary that dealt about what occurs after we die? In this documentary they conducted several street interviews and inquired about what happens after one dies. As you can imagine the responses differed with each respondent, with the answers ranging from heaven bound to death is death and life ends with one's last breath.
As this documentary went on the researcher finally comes to the conclusion that God's Word in the bible had it correct all the time. The researcher tells us what the bible has told us for thousands of years, in the fact that there is life after death. We are told in this documentary that this life that we lead is just part of a journey that we are traveling!
As I continued to watch this documentary I was shocked at the narrator's surprise revelation that what God's people know to be true is actually true. As a follower of Christ I am constantly astounded when researchers tell us that the bible is historically true, and can be proven through documents and archaeological finds.
Beloved as followers of Christ and the Word of God we have been promised eternal life when this earthly physical life is over. While others journey to remote locations and interviews to prove that Christ actually existed, you and I only need journey to Gods Holy Promised and Fulfilled Word to know that Christ lived, died and was resurrected for us.
Our mission as God's people is to spread the word about God's Word to those that have never heard it, knowing that they will find the same surprise and awe as the documentary host experienced. My prayer for you this week is that you use these forty days of Lent to experience your own journey into God's promise of eternity through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Eternity it's No Surprise! It's a Promise Made and Promise Fulfilled! Do You Believe This?
