2261Ecclesiastes 7:2
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart
Bible Reading for A Year:[bible]Psalm60[/bible];[bible]0Mark10[/bible]; [bible]iichr31-32[/bible]
What King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 7:2 really gave us a very precious lesson, that life is only for a while; no matter how rich someone is, he does not take his prosperity and richness into death. This is a warning for the left so their lives are not useless.
Death is something that needs to be noticed: first, death is something that definitely happens. One day, everyone, no exception, must face their deaths. “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,” (Hebrews 9:27). We know that death does not recognize the age, gender, and also social status owned by someone, and none of us could refuse or flee from the death. Death can’t be represented by anyone.
Second, death is not the end of everything. Many of us think that death is the end of everything. Indeed, death means that everything that we did is over. However, it does not mean that everything is already done, finished, and there is nothing more to do. Moreover, death is alike a bridge which connects between mortal to eternity.
Ready or not, every one of us shall face the death. For believers who live in perseverance and faithfulness to God, death is a profit as we will meet the Lord Jesus in eternity!

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
