TODAY’S LESSON: STICK A FORK IN IT
FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST, AND TO DIE IS GAIN.
PHILIPPIANS 1:21
THE STORY IS TOLD OF A WOMAN WHO REQUESTED THAT,
UPON HER DEATH, SHE BE BURIED WITH A FORK IN HER HAND.
WHEN ASKED WHY, SHE REPLIED,
“BECAUSE AFTER A MEAL MY MOMMA USED TO SAY,
‘KEEP YOUR FORK’.
I KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT.
IT MEANT THAT THE BEST WHAT YET TO COME.”
WELL, FOR CHRISTIANS THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
WE ARE CONFIDENT, I SAY,
AND WILLING RATHER TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY,
AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
II CORINTHIANS 5:8
THINKING ABOUT IT GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS!
TWO THING WILL HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY:
1ST-NO MORE PAIN, OR SORROW!
HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH IN VICTORY;
AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS
FROM OFF ALL FACES;
AND THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE
SHALL HE TAKE AWAY FROM OFF ALL THE EARTH:
FOR THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.
ISAIAH 25:8
2D-I’LL HAVE A NEW BODY(WHOO-HOO!)
(LOOK OUT CHERYL TIEGS)
THEREFORE IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST,
HE IS A NEW CREATURE:
OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY;
BEHOLD, ALL THING ARE BECOME NEW.
II CORINTHIANS 5:17
NO, I DON’T THINK I’LL LOOK LIKE A MODEL,
BUT I DO THINK I’LL LOOK BETTER THAN I DO NOW.
OK, YOU’RE ALL SET OR ARE YOU?
NOW THAT YOU’VE GOT YOUR TICKET DON’T YOU WANT TO TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU?
GO YE THEREFORE, AND TEACH ALL NATIONS,
BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST:
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE
WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU:
AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS,
EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
AMEN.
MATTHEW 28:19-20
