A note from Max Lucado
Travelers know their destination, right? Travel 101 instructs, "Know where you go."
Wouldn't Life 101 say the same?
We are all headed somewhere. Each day brings us closer to a final breath, a final heartbeat, a final sigh. No one is getting younger. Death comes to the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the decent, the decadent, the king, and the commoner. Shouldn't our destination be an obsession?
The Bible certainly suggests as much. It makes almost five hundred references to heaven. The New Testament mentions the return of Jesus more than three hundred times—one out of every thirty verses! Twenty-three of the twenty-seven books in the New Testament describe Jesus' second coming, and on some fifty occasions we are told to be ready.
If quantity equates to priority, then life after this life is a crucial issue to God.
Friends, you were made to explore what happens next. It's all about hope. It's all about him. Let's make sure we are good to go.
With hope,
Max
