One thing is clear: we all will die, sooner or later. From the cradle to the grave, our time on earth is short. We do not know when we will be called home. As Christians, we know where home is. Home is life with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
But how much closer are we to that journey home? What have we done to win the prize of eternal life with Him? Have we truly believed in Jesus? To believe in Him is to do His will and follow His word. Have we cared for the least of our brethren? Have we loved others as we love ourselves, or even more? Have we lived the beatitudes in our life?
Or have we instead chased after rainbows, indulged in wine and dining, and lived life carelessly, only for ourselves? Are we the fool in this Gospel? Or are we the son and daughter of God our Heavenly Father, eagerly awaiting His heavenly embrace?
Amen.
