A Door
“No tabloid will ever print the startling news that the mummified body of Jesus of Nazareth has been discovered in old Jerusalem. Christians have no carefully embalmed body enclosed in a glass case to worship. Thank God, we have an empty tomb. The glorious fact that the empty tomb proclaims to us is that life for us does not stop when death comes. Death is not a wall, but a door.”
Peter Marshall.
For the Christian it’s simple as Peter Marshall stated “Death is not a wall, but a door.” The Key to that door is accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
We do not know how long we have on this earth, but however long or short that life may be God gives us a choice. To accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour or reject him.
Fulton J. Sheen wrote,
“Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.”
Jesus himself made two statements that may seem blunt but are completely true. He said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
John 3:16-18.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6
The question is are you willing to follow the way?
Think about it.
