We could go about our day to day lives not expecting anything tragic to happen. Just days ago, a family headed to the coast and got into a fatal accident on Highway 6 which claimed the lives of a man and his little daughter. This happened just 3 days after someone was hit and run around our neighborhood.
If I suddenly died or when the Rapture happens, this would be the legacy I would leave to my loved ones. This was the project I was working on. I’m not afraid of dying, but… my heart’s desire is to cross over to eternity without having to taste death. Death came about as the ultimate consequence of sin (Genesis 2:17).
“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—”
Romans 5:12
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
What would be your legacy?
“By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. 17After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
