to change our lives. Sometimes we get preoccupied with
the uncertainty of our deaths. Not knowing when or how
we will eventually die can be unsettling. But, more so
than needing an answer to the “when” of death, the
“what” of death answer we provide has more signifi-
cance. What happens to us when we die? Whether we
die during the natural course of our lives or when Christ
comes again, the experience is the same. If we believe
that we are meant to live in union with God eternally
and that death completes and does not diminish us, then
it is worth our time and effort to wait in vigilant hope of
the Lord’s coming in glory. Our journey back to God is
something beautiful to be desired, not dreaded or feared.
Sadly, many folks believe that life is no more than a
random occurrence without any purposeful direction or
meaning. Death is simply death and nothing more. For
them, the Second Coming of Christ and God’s eternal
promise have no meaning. When we understand the
truth about who we are, it changes things up. We then
can see ourselves as works in progress who have the
choice to either resist the inspirations of the Divine
Artist or give into the wonderful creativity of His will.
Life awaiting the fullness of Christ to come becomes an
unfolding of Divine surprises and abundant joy. God is
eternally merciful, forgiving, and welcoming. It is only
when we directly reject this gift and turn our backs on
Love itself that we have anything to fear.
