I was having lunch today with Jenny & Daphne,
when Christina & her husband Larry joined us…
Christina has came to deliver the Omega Fish Oil that Jenny has ordered.
Larry is a very enterprising man…Now he is now a wholesaler for Omega Fish Oil, Barley Green and Wheatgerm.
In other words, he sells health food supplements…
All these supplements help one live longer, gain youthfulness, etc…
I don’t usually take health food supplements…
(I do not have the discipline to pop pills everyday)
In the midst of our conversation, I said
I live naturally, I eat naturally, and it’s only natural that I die naturally.
This may sound morbid to you as a subject over lunch, but I really don’t mind dying.
Christina asked if it’s because life is too stressful/painful for me, that I don’t mind dying.
I reply" NO". So, I just said Life is so good, that I don’t mind dying.
If the life that God has given us in this temporal world is so good;
and because He has promised that He has gone to prepare a place for us, and will come back for us;
Life must be even better after death… that is eternal Life with GOD.
Jesus said “…I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
First, let's take a look at the word "life". In the Greek it is "Zoe" referring to the principle of life in the spirit and soul. Distinguished from "bios", which refers to duration, means, and manner of life.
So we find that the life (zoe) that Jesus referred to are the things of the spirit, the things which are not seen.
Not the things of the flesh or of the world which are seen.
Jesus here is talking about eternal life.
It is not about having good things on this earth, or in abundance, and prosperity in this world.
I have more than my fair share of a good life on earth…
It’s time to lay claim to the “zoe” that GOD has so given…
Do you want to die here and live eternally,
Are you prepared to die without claiming “zoe” that was given to you in abundance…
