“Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Every single person who was healed by God eventually died. No one lived forever.
Think about that. If they were going to die anyway, why did God heal them? What was the point of healing? What does this tell us?
Just as our verse of the day tells us, everyone is destined to die. No one is to live forever on this side of heaven. What is normal for this side of heaven is for everyone to die.
And when they die, what will happen?
Just as everyone is destined to die, everyone is destined to face judgment.
Could it be that God heals people, that God gives people more days because God wants to give them the opportunity to better prepare for the inevitable judgment that is to come? And if that is the case for when people are healed, doesn’t it make sense then that those who are healthy now are given our health and vitality so that we too might live to be prepared to face judgment?
How do we do that? What’s the key? Jesus. Get to know Jesus. Be about the business of Jesus. Live for Jesus. Serve for Jesus. It’s all about Jesus.
