None the Less

  What is life, or better yet, why is life? What does it all mean? What happens when we die, do we simply return to the earth from which we came? Is there life after death? How can that be? How could I not have not been born, how would it have affected my family if I had never lived, what, if anything would have changed? How many of you know that the odds against you ever knowing the answer of such type questions are astronomical.  These are but a few of the deeper questions of life, there are no questions in death. These deeper thoughts and questions come to us all in one form or another, and at some point in our lives. What is the answer to understanding, is it not knowledge? 

  What do you think you'll do after you die? Ask yourself, What is it that leaves your body at the moment of your passing? What leaves to change the living into a lump of dead meat? Is the extent of the human condition only to understand the short time of the sum total of our years while we live on this earth? Is that your limitation? If you have ever watched a living thing die while watching the eyes, you will see the spark of life fade in their eyes until they become lifeless and dull. What is that spark, and where does it go when the body dies? 

  What you see as that twinkle that turns dark, is the Spirit of Life leaving, that is what you lose at your passing. But what becomes of that sparkle, does it live forever, or does it too become as dead as stone? The answer of course is that both life and death are eternal.  What if you have a choice, would you choose to go on with that spark of life, to live love and learn forever, or would you choose to be plant food? Or, does your hope ly in the hope that you will return as another life form, like returning as a beautiful swan. What if you come back as lice feeding on rotted corpses? You know there is no guarantee of the swan or flower gardens? So, say that the choice is yours to make, which would you choose? Surely given that clear a choice, most if not all would choose life eternal, rather than just returning to dirt. 

  No matter what you've been taught, and as much as you may not like exclusiveness, there is only one way to guarantee eternal life with the Creator of all, and that is by becoming a follower of the son God sent as the way to himself, Jesus Christ. Jesus himself stands at the door of your heart and knocks. The last question is, Will you answer the door? Scripture tells us that more won't than will, but the remnant grows none the less.
