In one of the forests in California stands the “General Sherman” tree, estimated to be almost four thousand years old. This tree is still growing, and is known as the oldest and largest living thing on earth.
We know that this tree will not stand forever. Some day it will come down, “in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.” Eccl. 11:33If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. (Ecclesiastes 11:3). Four thousand years seems like a long time, but it is nothing compared with ETERNITY.
Every boy and girl, and every man and woman, must live forever and ever, either in heaven or in, the lake of fire. Think of it — forever and ever, through endless ages! No one will be able to stop living then, even if he wanted to.
If you have put your trust in the Lord Jesus, you will someday spend eternity in heaven with Him. Of that wonderful place we read: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Rev. 21:44And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4).
How sad that all those who have neglected to think of eternal things and have rejected the Lord Jesus, will spend their eternity with Satan in the lake of fire forever. Millions of years will pass, and millions more, but there will be no escape, and no end of their anguish. God says, “These shall go away into everlasting punishment.” Matt. 25:4646And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46). It will be too late then to accept the Lord Jesus.
Dear reader, where will you be in ETERNITY? Settle the question NOW and receive Christ today and you will spend your eternity with Him in untold bliss. Don’t let your games, toys, books or programs keep you from accepting that dear loving Saviour who says,
