"TO BE WITH CHRIST IS FAR BETTER" BY PASTOR MIKE TAYLOR FROM "THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD"!!

To Be with Christ, Is Far Better - Pastor Mike Taylor - http://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2017/04/to-be-with-christ-is-far-better.html
 
1 " If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." (Colossians 3:1-4)
 
Have you ever been to a funeral of a loved one and felt so sad, almost to the point of total depression because of the cold, unnatural looking person who you loved lies in a perpetual state of unawareness? Most people have, and I really don't like going to them, as I would rather remember them in life, than have that last image of them in their casket burned into my memory. But you can understand that many people believe that death is the end of our existence, that your loved one is completely gone and never coming back. The Godless world believes that death is the end of our thoughts, our memories and the end of our consciousness.
 
Think about your loved one for a moment that has passed on. When they were with you, they were warm, animated and engaged with life. Now they are cold and still and totally disconnected from this life. Have you ever reached out and maybe just touched their hand or finger, how it feels like a piece of a stick? All that you knew them to be if gone, and your loss and pain of the unbeliever is overwhelming. One, you have to face your own mortality, as that will be you in the future, should the Lord tarry longer than your date of death, which only He knows. MAN IS DESTINED TO DIE - read on at http://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2017/04/to-be-with-christ-is-far-better.html
