I am someone who believes very much in an after life. That we will one day stand before a just and holy God and be held account for what we have done in this life. Here’s something from a book called Images the book makes no commentary. It simply presents a scenario and asks the reader to decide for themselves.
Where
Where are the people?
Where?
Are they but shadows in the mall?
Are they?
Are they shadows in time?
Shadows wandering looking for the latest trinkets, bobbles or beads.
What is life?
Are they
Is life but a wisp of smoke carried in the air?
A wisp in the eternal ether ?
Are people wisps of smoke?
What of man’s....
or woman’s! accomplishments?
What of them?
Is the sum total of all ones life simply a pile of shinny tin, brass, and wood?
Is that life?
Is life simply a cacophony of sounds travelling through endless time?
Are we simply the corporeal high end of the evolutionary scale?
Or
Is a life.
Yours and mine, more?
Is it a divine opera?
An opera played out on a high mesa
A stage suspended between heaven and hell.
Are we as Shakespear said simply actors?
Are we but actors in a play?
Actors awaiting the final curtain call sending us to eternity?
Are you ready for that final curtain call?
Are you?
What is the sum total of your life?
What?
What will “they” say about you as you pass on?
What will God say to you?
The Prophet Isaiah said,
“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass,and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Isaiah 40:6-8
Will you spend eternity with God?Think about it.
