Where there is Hope
This week a dear friend lost his 30 year old son. Today I lost a dear friend. His wife reported his last words:
“Today, Bruce Ewing stepped over into glory at 1:25pm. His passing was graceful and peaceful. Before going into a coma yesterday, he spoke of our Lord. He said, “Take everything.” Then he said “He is holy” followed by “Holy” dozens of times! Shortly after that he said, “What a Christ” What a Christ.” It seemed like he was seeing Him. It was amazing to be there. Then, in a voice of authority, he opened his eyes and looked around asking, “Who questions, who questions?” As if to say, I am going to our Lord. Who questions the reality of our God and Father. His last word was “Wow!” ”
Both of these friends had a deep living relationship with Jesus Christ. That relationship is where there is hope. The passage from this life into eternity is faster than a snap of the finger. One day our suffering and pain will end and we will step in to eternity - either Heaven or Hell. What we do with Jesus while here determines what our eternity will be like.
When we have Jesus, we have hope. I hope you have that same hope too. If not, please contact me.
