ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنەWhen You Dieنموونە
The evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018) said, "Some day you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God."
Ask Yourself:
-Consider Paul’s words, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” alongside Billy’s, “I shall be more alive than I am now.”How would you describe being “alive” now? Why do you think both Paul and Billy anticipated more “life” after death?
Pause to Pray:
Lord, teach my heart to long for eternity...
Take a Next Step: Choose 1!
-An old song says, “This world is not my home. I’m just passing through.” Take some time in quiet worship to just enjoy Jesus and remind yourself He is your true home.
-Prayerfully take a few minutes to think about what you would like to have included in your obituary. How could you use that permanent record to reflect your faith in Jesus and lead others to Him? Thank Jesus for giving you the opportunity to live for Him on earth today and for as many tomorrows as He gives you.

About this Plan
If you’ve ever traveled somewhere new, you have probably done some research before the trip so you know what to expect. But for many of us, the end-of-life trip to heaven remains a mystery which can lead us to dread rather than anticipate eternity. The Bible provides us with some exciting insights about heaven and it will help us shatter some myths that exist about the afterlife.
