An Eternity Poem

An Eternity Poem
The poet wrote,

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 and beads.

What is life?

What?

Is life but a wisp of smoke carried in the air?

A wisp in the eternal ether 

Are people wisps?

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?

Is it?

Or 

Is a life.

Yours or 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 Shakespeare said simply actors?

Life is real,

 an opera, 

Played out before God.

On a high mesa between heaven and hell.

We are but actors in a play?

Actors awaiting the final curtain call 

sending us to eternity?

Are you ready for the final curtain call?

Are you?

What is the sum total of your life?

What?

A man lives in deeds,

What will your deeds say about you?

What will “they” say about you as you pass on?

What will God say?

Jesus said,

‘Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. 

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 

I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.’ 

                                                               Revelations 3:20

The Apostle Paul wrote,

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—

and this not from yourselves, 

it is the gift of God— 

Ephesians 2:8

The writer of Hebrews wrote, 

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 

and certain of what we do not see...

And without faith it is impossible to please God, 

because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 

and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

                                                                                        Hebrews 11:1,6

Jesus speaking of Himself 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

Where will you spend eternity?

Where?

Will you accept Jesus Christ into your heart and life today?

Will you pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I recognize that Jesus is your one and only Son.
That he came to earth to die for my sins.
I confess I am a sinner and that I fall short of what you want for my life.
Please forgive me of my sins and come into my life.
That I may spend eternity with you

                                      In Jesus name I pray
                                                   Amen.
Please think about it.
