I look around for a moment and try to find a few that really don’t care whether they live or die on this earth. The majority of people are so tuned to life in this body that they panic when any mention is made of death. Even a great many Christians can be counted in that flock. And I find myself pondering this enigma.

Here is a fact: for the non-believer, life in this body is extremely precious. I get that because that’s all they get. But for the Christian, I fail to grasp completely why they cherish this life so much, knowing death in this world means life forever with Christ. I’m a bit dumbfounded by it.

But that’s the way things are, right? Nothing anyone can do to help the individual come to grips with that. It’s entirely their choice.

Personally, I strain forward toward the moment of death in this place. I find absolutely nothing worth keeping here that won’t be re-dispensed when I die.

Bottom line: either Christ is everything worth having or he’s not. The fruit of what we believe is evident to every creature alive on this earth.

I wish every person on this earth would ponder this and come to grip with a solid answer.
