\u201cFor what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?\u201d<\/span> (Mark 8:36). <\/p>\n

As I write this in October, 2024, I was solemnized by reading in the news that a young girl named Nell Smith, whom the internet called a \u201cmusical prodigy,\u201d was tragically killed in an automobile accident a few days ago. She was only seventeen years old. As far as her life in this world was concerned, she seemed to be very successful as a singer and was about to produce her own solo recordings for sale. She had apparently started singing publicly at the age of eleven and was \u201con her way\u201d to becoming famous.<\/p>\n

Our verse for today puts all this in perspective. Those who paid tribute to her expressed the wish that she would \u201crest in peace.\u201d But where is she now? Our existence does not end with death; rather we pass into eternity, and then all that we might have had in this world does not mean anything. All that counts is whether we know the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. <\/p>\n
