Will you?
In the book of Ecclesiastes we read,
“Better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for all are destined to be mourned;
the living should lay this to heart.”
Ecclesiastes 7:2.
At first glance this would seem to be unusual. Why after all is it better to be in a house mourning the passing of someone, than in a house feasting.
The way I see it, if you attend someone’s funeral, it should at the very least be a wake up call for you. You should take a few moments to ask yourself where you will be spending eternity. Which is the ultimate question.
The American evangelist Tony Campolo wrote,
When you were born, you cried
and everybody else was happy.
The only question that matters is this -
when you die,
will you be happy
when everybody else is crying?
Tony Campolo.
Thus my question to you.
When you die will you be happy?
Please think about it.
