“I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23: 6)

This life on earth will end but that’s when real life begins and goes on forever.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.  For you are with me, your rod and your staff comfort me.” (Psalm 23: 4)

Death is a dark shadow yet God offers the brightness of life eternal.

“The angel said, ‘Today in the city of David the Savior has been born, he is the Messiah and the Lord.” (Luke 2: 11)

Religion says, “If you’re good enough you can see God.”  Jesus says, “I am God with you.  And I will save you.”

“This is what God has shown you:  He has given you eternal life and this life has its source in his Son.” (1 John 5: 11)

We’re promised eternal life not because of our goodness but because we trust in his son’s.

“This is the gift Christ himself promised to give us — eternal life.” (1 John 2: 25)

We each will face the end of our days yet, we have confidence it is only really the beginning.
