The Last Things

The sobering thing about life is that we are oblivious that all things have an end. A moment will come that we will be doing things for the last time, be it for our families, our friends, or our souls. The greatest happiness is not found in this life, though we can appreciate what we have as we go along, because happiness is found only in the person of Christ, who is not of this world. Everything else in this world, is fleeting, and has an end. Even death itself has an end.

But where death to self ends, life in Christ begins. To the unbelieving, physical death ends in eternal death. This is the greatest of tragedies.
