You can't take it with you
“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received--only what you have given.”
Francis of Assisi
Let me make something clear here. I am a Christian I believe Jesus when he said,
"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
I believe the account of Matthew
“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven."
Matthew 16:13-17
I believe Jesus is the Son of God. I also believe God gives everyone the choice to either believe or reject the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. That Jesus is God incarnate that he came to this earth to save each and every person who would have faith in Him.
I do not believe this world is all we have. If so it would be the waist of soul that I believe lives forever.
My brother an atheist is fond of saying “life is short. He who has all the toys at the end wins.”
Trouble is we don’t have all the toys in the end all our trinkets bobbles and beads amount to nothing.
In the end we may as well have stacked all the money we have accumulated in a large pile and burned it because we can’t take it with us.
Francis of Assisi got it right when he said,
“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received--only what you have given.”
Francis of Assisi.
Christ offers you eternal life with God. It is the only thing you can take with you from this world. It is however up to you whether you accept this free gift or not.
Please think about it.
