A Contrast

As part of a wedding procession we wound our way over the hills from Georgetown, St. Vincent, to the village of Point. There was much blowing of horns and a festive mood prevailed.

However, as we made our way to the reception I was struck with the reality of life as we met a funeral coach coming the other direction. What a contrast! A young couple just starting out on the journey of life together, and someone having just ended their time on earth. So, while some celebrated others mourned. As if to punctuate the brevity of life, just a half a mile down the road there was a large text painted on a brick wall. This is what it said, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

For me it brought to mind the words of Solomon: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh” (Ecclesiastes 1:4). Thankfully I know what is ahead as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. My eternal future is secure no matter what happens in this life. I trust all my readers have taken heed to the warning of the Lord when he said, “Be ye therefore ready also” (Luke 12:40).
