“For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.” Jeremiah 31:25 NLT
When God’s people pass away I rejoice for them whilst sorrow for their loss to me. What joy awaits the Christian. All eternity in the presence of our saviour. We cannot want more than that! If we do, perhaps we are hanging onto life in our present world too tight.
We cannot take anything, anyone with us into eternity. Desth does not permit us to take anything with us. In fact our bodies die and decay in the ground. Our spirit and soul go into eternity. Where we spend eternity depends on one thing: is Jesus our Lord and Saviour, as He is the only way. Nothing else will work, every other avenue ends in one place, Hell. Not a pleasant thought!
We can run from this truth, however, when we accept it we find rest for our souls. Peace at last! Amen
