Grass Withers

The Grass withers

“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” 
“All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. 
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” 
                                                                                               Isaiah 40:6-8.

The other day I was thinking about my mother she died young of cancer in her fifties in the early eighties.
My grandmother, her mother lived until her late nineties. Out living my mother by over twenty-five years.
When I think of them I realize their lives were but a mist in time. As are ours, at least with respect to this life.
Our lives however do not end here they are made as Martin Luther King jr. said “... man was created to shine like stars and live on through all eternity.”
The question is where will you spend that eternity?
We Christians believe that you have a choice in this life. You can either believe the words of Jesus or not.
Jesus said,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. 
                                                                                                             John 14:6
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. 
                                                                                                                John 3:16-18
If you chose to become a Christian and live by Christian principles of Love of God, Love for ones neighbour, and love for ones enemy, you have lost nothing and made your life richer in the process.
If Christianity is false then you’ve simply lived a good moral life.
C. S. Lewis said,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
                                                       C. S. Lewis
The decision however is up to you. No one can force Christianity on you. You are not born Christian simply because your parents were Christian. You must make the decision voluntarily to accept Christ into you life.
The decision you make however, I believe will have eternal consequences.
Please think about it.
