Surviving Death
Two men in human history crossed the death line and then returned to life. The first, a man named Lazarus, was dead in a tomb, when Jesus called him back into life.
The second, Jesus, having been tortured to death on a Roman cross, walked out of his tomb, returned to life and spent 40 days with his disciples before being taken up into the eternal realm.
I’m going with Him!
There are only two man in history who died and then lived to tell about it. There was Lazarus, who is my predecessor in eternal life. He survived death because Jesus called him.
After 73 years on this earth, and noticing that my body ain’t what it usee to be. I’m on long slide downhill into the cold, cold ground.
But the real person that I am, my spirit, will survive bodily death when I am called to eternal life by Jesus the (one and only) Christ.
In all of human history, only one man died and then lived to tell about it.
In 1977, Jesus gave me an opportunity to join him — when my “time” comes — in eternity. No great person in history — no president, no general, no prophet, nor priest has the power to open that door for me.
Jesus is the only one having power over our ultimate enemy — death.
I’m going with him. The way I imagine it, in a vision like Jacob’s, he’ll drop a ladder from on high and I’ll climb up from my little hole in the ground and join Jesus, with His millions of followers.
What say ye? Can you believe it? What do you have to lose?. . .your little covered-up hole in the ground? your box of ashes?
