Ecclesiastes 9:2

2 All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.

As it is with the good man,
so with the sinner;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.

No matter who you are or what you do in this life you are going to die one day.  You can be the richest man in the world, you will die.  You may be the most famous or the loliess person, and you will die.  There is nothing in the end that will stop this inevitable fact of life, that it will eventual end.

You may try everything to maintain the best life you can, vitamins, healthy food, the best Doctors care and all will be for not.  You can go the other way and live life to the fullest, eat what you want, soke, drink, go on dangerous adventures and you fate the same as the conservative guy, death.

We can live like there is no tomorrow or live as if there is endless tomorrows each will get the same return.  No wants to think this way but really we all know in the back of our minds that we are just teporarily here, how teporary is the question. 

So each person lives this life as the verse in Ecclesiastes with one very simple thing in common but we don not live all with thye same eternal outlook in common.  Some never think twice about what it will all mean in the end.  Some ignore all together any consequence to this life.  They see only the death and the eternity of nothing beyond.  They live without any hope for anything past what they have now.  So get what you can get, here, and who cares about later.

Others, have hope, and look to what this life shall mean. The believe that it can not be for nothing, that there is more to come.  They live this life looking to eternity, they ponder the consequences of this life, they live in hope.  Things matter, atter tremendously.

We will all die, but only some will live after.  Those that lived in the hope of what is to come.  Those that believed in our creator and that He has a purpose for us.  that he did not just place us here to live out every desire and then to die, but to serve and love and give ourselves to others so that He would be seen on this earth and then we could walk with Him for eternity, hope.

This life will produce two types of people in the end, those that die and remain in death and those that die and regain life.  Which one will you be?  What are you good for if you would chose just to die for nothing.  Why is your life not just full of shamful things, murder, crudeness if you didn't have some hope?  Do not ignore that you do want to live past this life.  Don't make an excuse to cover your guilt that will cost you what you truly hope for on the inside, eternal life.

Come to the Lord Jesus Christ and live.  Put your faith in the plan of the living God to save all those that call Him Lord and Savior.  Look to Him now and ask Him for eternal life, ask Him to be your life.  Lord, come into my heart and allow my sins to be forgiven, Lord I want to live. Save me, save me.

Lord Jesus, we all will die and only those that know you will live.  Convict their hearts that they have an end and without you that end will be final and complete.  Let them know that your hand is so close if they would just reach for it and hold onto to you.  Convict them lord before they die.  Amen.
