The Very End

If you had just one week left to live, how would you spend it?

Would you try to fulfill a lifelong dream? Would you make sure you said your good-byes to loved ones? Or would you indulge in all kinds of pleasures, expecting to make your life right with God in some sort of "deathbed conversion" at the last possible moment?

No one knows when the end will come. Unfortunately, not many people plan for that moment, and death often catches them by surprise. Therefore, Jesus encourages us to begin with the very end -eternity- in mind.

None of us knows when we'll die. Our death might occur at a fulfilled old age, or we might die the next time we get into our car to run an errand.

If you haven't done so already, make your life right with God. Now. Tell him that you're sorry for your sin. Then try to obey him. Live your life with the end in mind, because you don't know when you'll stand before God in heaven. It might be years down the road... or before today draws to close.
