Dear Church Family and Friends: In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there you may also be. And where I go you know, and the way you know (John 14:1-4) What is your future? Most everyone has heard of Albert Einstein. He was a genius. Tiime Magazine pictured him on their front cover as The Man of the Century. What many people don't know is that Einstein was also very absent-minded. One day after boarding a train to go speak at Princeton, he misplaced his ticket. As the conductor began passing through the car to punch everyone's ticket, Einstein began searching for his ticket. He checked his pocket, but no ticket. As he began to search through his briefcase the conductor said, Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. Don't worry about the ticket. I know you bought one. As the conductor proceeded to punch the tickets of other passengers, he looked back and saw that Dr. Einstein was on his hands and knees searching the floor. The conductor again said, Dr. Einstein, it's all right; you can stop looking for the ticket. I know who you are! Einstein replied, I know who I am too, but I need to know where I'm going. Too many people don't know where they're going. THey have existence, but not life. A wise man once said: If Jesus were still in the grave, then nothing in this life would really matter. But because Jesus is risen from the grave, nothing but THAT matters. The Christian knows that his future is in Heaven. Because of the Cross of Christ and the Empty Tomb, he knows where he's headed and he does not fear the future. Praise God for Jesus! Praise God for the Empty Tomb!
