Life means so much..... Chris Rice

 
Super Bowl gets millions of viewers. When Jesus returns, He will get 100 percent of the world’s attention, whether you want to watch it or not.
 
What if God told you today was your last day. How would you spend it? How would you make the day count? I could honestly say, I would make sure all of my loved ones know the hope I have in Jesus. That this isn’t the end. It really is the beginning of new life for all eternity, and I hope that they will meet me on their day. Where Jesus is, I will be too. (John 14:3)
 
Psalm 90: 8-12, shows us God’s seriousness to sin. Moses says, “You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of Your presence. All our days pass away under Your wrath……Teach us to number our days, that we may have a heart of wisdom.” 1 Corinthians 15: 56 says, “The sting of sin is death.”
 
A lot of people ask, “then why did God create us?” Well we weren’t created to die. Death came into the world because of our prideful disobedience, which is sin. Our sin causes us to die to this world, the land of the dying and sin. But we who believe in Jesus Christ, that He died for our sin and rose again to life, we too will go to the land of the living where there is no more sin, no more pain or tears. (Revelation 21: 4)……. I believe that is why the men at the tomb of our risen Lord said, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” (Luke 24: 5) This is the land of the dying, and we are going to the land of the living for ever and ever.
 
John 3: 16-17, There is no reason to fear death. God gives us the answer to all our fears through the death and resurrection of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Don’t you want to be reborn to new life, so you can have life everlasting when God calls you home? Than believe by faith that Jesus is the only way.
 
Oh God, “Life means so much.” Teach us to make the days count. Lead us in better ways that somehow our souls forgot.
 
P.S/ Thank you for the miracle of my Aunt Marie…. You are our only true LIFELINE!
