The True Eternal City
While in Rome, The Eternal City, I ponder eternity. We are all going to live forever, that's certain. When we move from planet earth, what will our new address be? We determine that by our response to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Admitting our sin, asking forgiveness from God, and asking to serve Him with all our remaining days are the steps to reaching the place Jesus has prepared for us. People marvel over the extraordinary beauty of Rome. It is eroding with time, it will pass away, it is nothing compared to a city whose walls are made of gemstones, whose gates are made of enormous pearls, whose main street is pure gold. A place where the singing and music sounds intensely sweet, where the fragrance in the air is the purest scent, and the shining Light of the World illuminates all with an indescribably brilliant light! (Revelation 21) Now that, my friends, is a place worth giving everything you have to get to one day and to live in forever. And the only thing we truly have is our free will, because God has given us a choice. Jesus, I choose You, Your way. As You have gone before us, we are following you all the way to the True Eternal City one day.
