KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 13:33 KJV” Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.”
Is there life after here.? Would a man live again? Job 14:14 KJV “If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.” This is a question Job asked. I believe this is a question many ask themselves in their most solemn moments. Many people think through it, and conclude this life is all there is.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses teaching from Ecclesiastics 3:19 “For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. They say that since Eccl 3:19 says that which befall men, also happen to animals, and so there is no place or no life after one dies. Well, it is rather unfortunate to draw such a conclusion, since the preacher was talking about events under this sun. This means he was relating to the same thing happening to animals and humans alike at death. Sadly, they do not read just two verses away, which says,” Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?” Now the scripture comes to talk about the spirits of each and says different things happen to each.
Jesus said to His disciples that He was going to be with them a little while and then He would be gone. They would not be able to come there. The Lord meant He would leave them, and live somewhere else that they can’t physically come. On the cross He said, father into your hands I commit my Spirit. It is the spirit of the person who departs from the body. Jas 2:26 KJV” For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” There is a spirit in man” (Job 32:8).it is this spirit that departs to go where it has prepared itself to go.
Where do the spirit of men go? The spirit of all those who are sons of God, having their spirit born from above, they go back to their father. Remember as many that received Jesus are given the power to become sons of God, and so they go back to Him, when they depart from this body. The man without Jesus is a creature of God, but not a son of God. If you are not a son of God, how do you go to Him, when you depart this life.? 2Co 5:1 KJV” For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” My question to you is where do you go if you are to live this earthly body?
THOUGHT; LIFE IN THIS PLAIN IS CERTAINLY NOT THE END OF EVERYTHING, BUT ARE YOU AMONG THOSE WHO SADLY THINK HERE IS ALL THAT MATTERS?
