The Most Important Question
A {Jewish} leader asked Jesus, "Good teacher, what must I do
to get the life that continues forever?"
-- Luke 18:18 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Can you think of a more important question than this? I can think of
several that are equally important, but they all ultimately come down
to the same basic issue: am I tied into God in a way that assures me of
life forever with him? So, are you? Are you confident in that life with
Christ forever? God wants us to be? Now whether the religious leader's
motives were perfectly pure or not is really not relevant to our asking
the same question. We can ask it from a pure and undefiled heart,
seeking to honor and glorify him. When we do, we can know where we
stand and with whom we stand.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I know many people want to live forever simply to prolong their
lives and to escape their fear of nothingness or eternal punishment.
While those issues are of importance, dear Father, I long to be with
you -- to know you, to be able to see you face to face, to honor you
and praise you with your angels. You have blessed me so graciously with
your grace. You paid the price for my sins at incredible cost to
yourself. I long, dear Father, to stand before your throne and tell you
through eternity how magnificent and precious you are to me. In Jesus'
name I praise and honor you Almighty God. Amen.
