When someone dies,we often say, they are gone,but the bigger question is this, gone where?in that old classic,the scarlet Pimpernel,we read the following,is he Heaven ?,is he in Hell?,that elusive scarlet Pimpernel.Most people do not give serious consideration as to the after life,nor do they give serious consideration about death,even though everyone of us must die.Maybe they are like smokers who never really think of the possible consequences of smoking,,they take comfort from the story about that their old granny who lived to 100years of age,smoked all her life,40 a day,she never got cancer,if only they could go into a hospice and meet those who are in the last stages of lung cancer,maybe that would make them think,maybe it wouldn't, .I wonder would they think not only of death,but where they are going to after death. Consider what Solomon wrote, /It is better to go to the house of mourning,than to go to the house of feasting,for that is the end of all men,and the living will lay it to his heart[Ecclesiastes 7 v2] A feast or a party is not conducive to serious thinking,you go to such occasion's to eat, drink and be merry, but you think more serious thoughts at the house of mourning,or one should. They are gone,and that will be said of all of us,but will it be to Heaven or will it be to Hell?, will it be with Christ or without Him?.Remember when you are gone you are gone, there is no coming back,and there is no second chance,behold now is the accepted time,behold now is the day of salvation [2 Corinthians 6 v2]
A prayer...../ Dear God help people to make sure that when they are gone it will be to heaven,through Jesus Your Son Amen/
