GOT IMMORTALITY?

". . . our Savior Jesus Christ, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel" (II Timothy 1:10).

"Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon" (From a compilation of sayings collected by Dan Leininger).

Obviously, if eternal life is simply life without end, heaven isn't such a great place to anticipate. Eternal life is the life of the Eternal One--the only One who is truly immortal. Heaven will be an eternal life of love, creativity, peace, perfect fellowship, gratitude and rejoicing. While on this earth, eternal life--immortality, is also manifested by faith and hope. When it seems as if life is impossible, the one with immortality clings to the only hope there is--Jesus Christ. Now that is truly audacious!

Through these difficult times, keep your hope in Christ for He is the only real hope there is! I want to see you in Heaven!

Grace&Peace,
Tom
