Where Will You Spend Eternity?

“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” Eccles. 3:11

We live in a day and time where medical technology has made great strides by keeping alive people who otherwise would have died years ago. There are both positive and negative points for the Christian believer to consider.

For example, look at the life of a young lady whom we will call Karen. At the prime of her life, Karen was stricken by a devastating disease, which put her into a coma. Years went by as she lay asleep. The only thing keeping her alive was a series of tubes.

Karen’s parents finally made the difficult decision to turn off the life-support machines and remove the tubes from their daughter’s wasted body. Their decision was not easy. It was so hard to let her go, but it was bearable because of Karen’s commitment to Christ. When she finally left this world, she fell into the arms of her loving heavenly Father.

When you let go of this old world, will you fall into His arms also? It is something everyone needs to think about - Where will you spend eternity? You really only have two choices, and you only go to heaven through Christ. If you have never received Christ, why not today? If you have, then smile and rejoice because you know where you will be.
