Have you had your JOY JUICE today? One day will be our Grand Graduation
Day! And then we will taste the most
delicious JOY JUICE that is beyond description!
Ecclesiastes
3:11 tell us that “God has….planted eternity in the human heart.”
Just as graduates
march across the stage or field to accept their diplomas, one day we will cross
over into eternity. Rick Warren writes: “Life on earth is just the dress rehearsal
before the real production. You will
spend far more time on the other side of death—in eternity—than you will
here. Earth is the staging area, the
preschool, the tryout for your life in eternity. It is the practice workout before the actual
game; the warm-up lap before the race begins.
This life is preparation for the next.” (The Purpose Driven Life)
Friends, we
should be diligent about studying and getting prepared for the GRAND GRADUATION
DAY! It’s not on our calendar, but it is
in the word of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9
says: “No mere man has ever seen or even imagined what wonderful things God
has ready for those who love the Lord.”
The reason it is so important to
develop a close relationship with God while here on earth is that it will
determine our relationship with him in eternity. If we reject him, we will be separated from God
and will spend eternity apart from Him.
Now, I don’t know about you, but when I “graduate” from this life, I
want to be able to accept my diploma from the hand of Jesus as I march into
heaven with joy, knowing that I’ll be with Him forever and ever!
The
JOYfully GRAND GRADUATION day is coming!
Are you ready?
