None doubts that death comes to all, saved or unsaved. The names of the Saved shall be called, and they shall answer: for their names are written in the lamb's book of life, when they accept Christ as their savior. Then we must also give an account of our lives, as lived here on earth, according to the record. Rev 14 Chapter Suppose we were to continue life here - thru out all eternity with (Page) Sermon Notes (P) all its sin, sorrow and dissapointments without relief. But one by one, we are passing over where there is no more suffering. Uncle Mark lived a good, clean life, and was loved by all who knew him. But excepr a man be born again, he shall not see the kingdom of Heaven. I had talked to him concerning these things. He confessed that it was settled long ago between him and God. His only regret was that he had failed to live a Christian life. We shall not grieve over his going because being released from the cares of life, he is at rest.

There you, with dear old Daddy will be there to meet us, as we cross over. Be looking for us, for we will all be there. One who love you - Ina.
