Can You Imagine Living Forever??

I was laying in the bed thinking about my wife, children, house, etc. when it came to me that one day, if Jesus does not return, that would face death.  What would that feel like?  What would my experience be?  Not to see my children, or my grandchildren.... what would that be like?  A great sadness came upon me in facing the finality of death.  Tears began to well up in my eyes.  I don't want to be separated from my wife and children - even if they work my nerves sometimes.  I love them!


Then I began to think about living forever.  Being able to be with my wife and walk with her.  Seeing my kids and their spouses.  Enjoying the beauty of the earth made new.  Oh, what a wonderful joy came to me.  I could be with my family for eternity.  WOW! What a wonderful feeling!  My tears faded away and my sadness turned to gladness as I lay in the bed.  Really, the comfort of Christ came upon me as I experienced the hope of salvation.


Can you imagine the glorious day of the resurrection?  When Christ returns to take the saints back to heaven.  To see the righteous changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye?  Wow!  What a great and wonderful feeling!  This is the hope that we have!  Living forever.


Have you ever imagined about living forever?   Were your thoughts happy or sad?
