Hereafter!

For Thursday, August 28, 2025:

Luke 18:29-30 NLT, Jesus speaking: “I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come.”

People wanted reassurance about the life after this life. Was such a thing even possible? Does heaven really exist? How do you get there? Who’s included?

Critics of the Bible sometimes say that the afterlife isn’t clearly explained. But make no mistake. In this speech, Jesus clearly explained that there is a Heaven, God’s eternal Kingdom; that we should expect a life after this life; that those loyal to Jesus, God and the Kingdom would inherit a forever home.

Reread Jesus’ words. They should excite you, inspire you to pursue God’s reward. Consider this Jesus’ invitation to the hereafter!

If you love Jesus, you’re included! See you there!
