“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” James 4:14
According to legend, Alexander the Great gave 3 wishes before he died:
- Physicians carry coffin: A lesson that even doctors cannot defeat death.
- Scatter his treasures: Signifying that worldly wealth means nothing in the end.
- Hands outside coffin: A final statement that humans arrive and depart empty-handed.
“You can’t take it with you,” is a reminder we hear and a reality that we must remember. Of all the things we pursue and accumulate in this life, the only thing we can take to Heaven is our loved ones, and those friends and others we give the gospel to.
Some people love things and use people. May God help us to love people and use things instead.
You are loved and prayed for.
Sincerely,
A ROPE OF HOPE
“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” John 9:4
