Fountain of Youth

Friends,

If you, being a person of the world, became acquainted with someone who told you that a secret island had recently been discovered in a remote part of the Pacific that held the secrets to long-lasting health and stifled aging, how much would you be willing to pay to get to this fountain of youth? Thousands? Millions? Some certainly wouldn't pursue, being content to live out the normal life-span. What if you were given the tickets in order to get there? You, being a person of certain pride would insist on paying for said tickets, only to be told that they are free. Would you accept it? An opportunity for everlasting youth? For free? No way! Amazing!
Folks, we have access to the fountain of youth. His name is Jesus Christ. We have the opportunity to live eternally. The ticket has been paid. There is no amount that you can pay for it, no matter how much you would like to do so. All you can do is accept and respond. The Bible explains this clearly. Some will not do so, and when life is over -- it is truly over for them. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid the the price for the sins of mankind by shedding His blood in dying on a cross, then to be raised from the dead so that all might have the opportunity to live forever. Discover the fountain.

Have you seen "Tuck Everlasting?" It's a cool movie to explore immortality on this planet, rather than in eternity.

Disciple,

Sad to say that my entire family has seen it except for me. They did tell me that my blog had a similar theme -- I will just have to break down and see it.
