Is this all there is?so many people dismiss an after life,and so they try to focus totally on this life, the very rich will build a little heaven here on earth.When one witnesses to people often they do not want to know, its as if they are saying don't intrude into their little world .But then as a Bishop Blougram writes,'Just when we are safest,there's sunset touch,A fancy from a flower bell,some one's death'.Or as Bruce Milne writes,'Or, as we may add,a terrorist outrage.Something breaks into our lives that cries out against our materialistic complacency,The great questions of existence rise up once again;What is life? Where is it going?What about death and beyond?. Yes ,what about death and beyond?,the Bible gives us the answer,it is not an ambiguous answer,no it is very clear, that answer is to be found in Jesus,who came from heaven to earth for a purpose, that is to rescue humanity.Oh yes we need rescuing,look out on this world and the awful suffering,and wickedness we hear about everyday,why with all our abilities can we not create a perfect world,why?,because we are all imperfect,or as the word of God says we are all sinners,I was witnessing to a person once and he said you always mention about sin. Yes I do ,for unless our sin is forgiven,Hell awaits ,once you cross into eterniy ,all hope of going to Heaven ,and escaping Hell is gone.There will be no glorification for anyone, but for the believer the one who has trusted Jesus glorification awaits.One writer puts it like this,' glorificationis that final stage of salvation where believers are fully transformed to be like Christ, experiencing a state of perfect holiness and glory in the presence of God,free from sin and suffering'
