Our Forefathers gathered together and celebrated
Thanksgiving to thank God for His goodness, provision and the grace He provided in their struggle to survive in a new and harsh environment.
God is still good, provides what we need and gives us the grace to endure both collectively and as individuals.
A Christian is by definition: One who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior. One that has confessed and repents of their sins, One that has turned over their life to Jesus. One that lets Jesus guide them through the events of their daily lives. One that knows that there is a Heaven and there is Eternal Life with Jesus as their King.
We
lost a young member of our greater family today. It has been
interesting to note how each of the family members dealt with the
tragedy. Those that I believe are truly Christians were able to accept
it with a peace that seems to surpass understanding. Even though
they will miss our departed family member, they all seemed to
understand that death is as much a part of life as birth. They seem
to intuitively know that a person's time on earth, whether they live
one day or 100 years, is merely a nanosecond with respect to the
duration of time associated with eternity.. On the other hand, those
that I do not believe or know the Lord Jesus at this point in their
lives don't possess this understanding about life. They are
distraught, lost and afraid. They don't understand the larger
picture. They question why it happened and begin to ponder and fear
their own eventual death.
If
you are not a Christian and you have shared the kind of feelings my
non Christian relatives are feeling as I write, Consider the Fact
that Jesus is real. He is alive and He is coming again to rule the
earth and his people. His people are not all of the people that have
lived on the earth through history, they are actually only those that
have accepted him as their Savior and have given themselves to him
and his service for all eternity.
What's in it for me?
Peace,
lack of fear of the unknown, and confidence that His Word is the
Truth and the Light and I will Serve God through my Lord Jesus Christ
for all eternity.
Bottom line, it takes away the worry so prevalent in this world.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior Today, It will change your outlook and life forever.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25 - 26
