I was at the cemetery in my hometown today. I visited several graves of people I knew. Both the date of birth and death are engraved on every tombstone. The beginning and the end of a person’s life on the earth. This all seems to be so established, so final. Limited time and the transience in relation to it are part of life and leave us seeming somehow small and impotent.

But are these engraved dates really final? Is everything really over the day I die?

There is a God who says of himself: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.”

Revelation 21:6

The eternal God created the world. He exists outside of space and time. We were created to have fellowship with God for all eternity. Our souls live on even after we die. When everything else is gone, it is God who remains. The God of life and love sent his only son Jesus to the earth in order to reconcile you with him.

Will you accept this imperishable gift?
