We have had to say "good-bye" to three very well known celebrities this week: Ed McMahon (the longtime sidekick of Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show), Farrah Fawcett (who may be best known for her 1970's role as one of Charlies' Angels) and Michael Jackson (who is best known for .... well ... many things). Of the three deaths, two did not surprise us (McMahon was 86 and Fawcett was battling terminal cancer). But Jackson's death at only age 50 caught us all by surprise. All this goes to show that the grim reaper known as death comes one day to claim us all. It does not matter what our age might be or how great our fame and fortune is. All of us WILL one day die. The Bible confirms what our experience teaches us. But the Bible does go one step further. In Hebrews 9:27 we read, "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Please do not miss what I am about to say. This verse confirms that death is our destiny - no matter who we might happen to be. BUT our existence does NOT end with death. The verse continues to say, "and AFTER THAT (i.e. after death) to face judgment." You see, every single person who dies will have to stand before Almighty God and face HIS judgment. Are YOU ready? If you want to know how you can GET READY, I encourage you to check out the following web site: http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/2wtl/. My hope for any and all who might happen to read this blog posting is that they will get right with God by embracing the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thanks for stopping by . . .
