I read about a man from Canada who left the frozen north for a holiday in the Florida Sun. His wife was due to follow him next day. When he got to his hotel he sent her an email. Unfortunately he missed one letter in the email address and his message went to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had died the day before. When she checked her emails and read the message she let out a scream. Her family rushed in to see this message on her computer: ‘Dearest Wife. Just checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow. PS Sure is hot down here!’
Well. I guess it’s a good thing we don’t have to rely on email messages for information on the after life. But, if we have faith in Jesus, there’s nothing to fear. His message also was ‘I go to prepare a place for you.’ And that is our eternal assurance.
