It is a sobering thought, but true; at this very moment, you and I are only one breath and one heartbeat away from eternity. And depending on who is right, John or Mary, we are each facing either eternal nothingness, or never-ending life of some kind. Most of us are like the little ant at the base of Mt. Everest. It is so easy to get focused on our tiny anthill that we miss the big picture, namely God and eternity versus eternal nothingness. Two men were talking about Bill Gates, one of the richest and most powerful persons in the world. The one asked the other, “How much money do you think Bill Gates will leave when he dies?” — His friend thought and said, “All of it!” A million years from now it will not matter whether you drove a new Corvette, or an old car with rusted fenders, whether you lived in a shack or a mansion, whether you were educated or uneducated, were rich or poor, or what kind of relationships you had.
