I was thinking about what most
people were afraid of so I googled "what are most humans afraid of.” There
I found that some were afraid of "reality," some said making
"mistakes," one said "Michael Jackson," the "dark,"
being "controlled" and many more. The number one fear was
"Death" and the number one reason was because it's
"unknown." the word death is mentioned 342 times in the Bible and in
those 342 times can we really say it’s unknown? Can something be talked about
that much and we say we know nothing about it? I think not. We read of one man
dying and finding himself in a placed called hell. We read of another man dying
and finding himself in a placed called paradise. We read of another man being
told that today you're going to paradise. Do we just write these accounts of
death off and say it is unknown? Oh, that's right one must believe in the Bible
to believe these accounts. What if your boss told you 342 times about one thing
would you be able to say you didn’t know anything about it; it’s unknown to
you? Would it be of any interest to you to know why one man went to paradise
and one man went to hell? What made the difference? Was one a good person and
the other just rotten to the bone? What's interesting about these two is that
one man had plenty of money and the other had nothing. One had plenty to eat and
the other had none. Do you think it could be what these men put their trust in
that made the difference? There is nothing wrong with having money and nice
things as long as a person doesn’t put their trust in them. This is what we
know, one man had plenty in his life time many years ago and died and went to
hell. The other man had nothing many years ago and today has more than enough.
You'll find this story in the book of Luke chapter 16 verses 19-31. The answer
to the unknown is found here.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The unknown is found in Jesus.
