Matthew 5: 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Ever since the fall of Adam, all generations have had to confront the issue of our mortality. The fact that we are finite is something all persons have to come to grips with, because mortality deeply affects the various perspectives on life that are held worldwide. Sooner or later, everyone will have to face up to this fact, and what we do as a result will make all of the difference in the here and now, and for eternity.
We can exercise until thy kingdom come, and we could eat every vegetable we can think of, but inevitably, we must deal with this issue of mortality. Let it be said here that the blessed hope given to us in Christ is what makes all the difference in life, as it opens up the possibility of eternal life to all who will believe. It is this blessed hope that makes life worth the living. There are individuals who’ve made very important contributions to this world.
Some have made advancements in inventions, technologies and medicines, which have greatly helped the human family, but without this blessed hope, all the good that is done will fade into oblivion at the end of the day. This past week the financial Guru Warren Buffet saw fit to pass the baton to one who is younger, even as it is known that he made considerable contributions to the investment world.
Mark 8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
