Death. The word is never easy to discuss. It brings shame and guilt to some. To others, it means regret. To a few, it means freedom from the cares of living in this sin-wrecked world.
But what is death? Is it an end in and of itself? or is it merely a transition to a life hereafter? and if a transition, to what kind of life? These are things which must be researched and discovered here and now. To wait until later may mean that you wait too long and that death will conquer you before you know what it is. It is much, much better to be prepared for it than to be surprised by it!
And how should we prepare for it? The answer is simple: look to the Book which speaks about it the most! What Book is that? The Bible. There IS a life after death, and it is vitally important that we prepare for it. Scripture speaks very plainly that there is a heaven - a place of endless worship before God - and that there is a hell - a place of torment far worse than we can imagine.
So, whether your my grandma (d. 3/13/05) or the Pope, the choice is there. The deciding factor is simple - accept Christ as your Savior and Lord. The time to choose is now.
What will you choose?
