Better than the day of birth

 Better than the day of birth

In Ecclesiastes we read,

 “A good name is better that perfumed oil and the day of death better than the day of birth.” Ecclesiastes 7:1.

“The day of death better than the day of birth”, quite a statement. Here the writer is not referring to one’s own death but to that of another. Bereavement should, or at least should be a call to those grieving to think of their morality. 

There’s an old saying I heard along time ago by C.T. Stud that said,

“We have only one life it shall soon be past only what’s done for Christ will last.” C. T. Stud.

So if you consider yourself a Christian a true follower of Christ Jesus, what have you done for Christ?

Please think about it.
