Attended Chuan Yu his Grandma's wake todae. Suddenly being reminded of my Own grandma who is currently bed-ridden in Malaysia.. I hope to be able to visit her this December. Because she is now 82, and a recent fall has caused her health to take a plunge. If I do not go back this year, I might not have the chance to do so again. pls pray for her thanks! =)
Man is one of the few beings to consiously know that we are all going to die someday. Even though we know that, we actually know very little of what it is like after we die. And, life is so frail that even though we know so much about medicine and technology to this date, we cannot escape death. We don't even have control of when we arrive in this world & when we die.
And we can "OWN" alot ( but do we own them? ). Have lots of money, drive a BIG car, live luxuriously, have a happy contented family. BUT we can take NONE of these with us when we die. So, what is the real purpose of life? Have you ever in your years wondered about it? YOUR LIFE IS JUST A SMALL DOT ON ALONG A LONG LINE. It may be 50? 60? 70? 80 years? No one knows. Our existence marks that few decades in creation's long years.
I sincerely feel the lost of a loved one tend to remind us of God's promise to us that whoever believes in Him shall be saved & be with Him in heaven. If given a choice to choose, I'm 100% sure no one will choose to go to hell knowingly. But if they have not heard the gospel and have a chance to choose, how can they know of God's promise? I hope as christians we can make use of what we call TODAY (yes that's today because how sure are you that you are not taking tomorrow for granted? ) to spread God's love:
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
This is a verse I think most christians know. But are we living our faith out by showing God's love to our neighbours?
One of the parting words Jesus said to his disciples was:
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13: 34-35.
We can say alot to our non-believer friends to try to convince them but what else is better than using your own life with other fellow christians as a life testimony of God's LOVE?
