The Insignificance and Greatness of Eternity
Story★★★★Alfred Tennyson, whose attitude to the future life is indicated in “In Memoriam” and in “Crossing the Bar,” once declared: “The life after death is the cardinal point of Christianity.” Then there is the witness of F.
C. Spurr: “The Testimony of Jesus Christ was that He came from the other world and was returning to it.
While He was here He witnessed to that life beyond, and unless the whole of Christian experience and testimony for two thousand years has been an extraordinary myth and mockery He has been at work through the centuries and acting upon people with all the power of a living personality. For myself I am content with the witness of Jesus Christ. Death does not end all; it leads to further education, to fuller life and to higher service.” Edward Wilson of the Antarctic wrote to his wife: “We will all meet after death.
My love for you is for ever.” And F. B. Meyer told a friend: “My doctor says the end cannot be far away.
I’ll see you in the morning.”
The point
Multiple Christian leaders affirm Christ's resurrection and the certainty of life beyond death—death is not the end but leads to continued service and reunion with loved ones.
