Life is Terminal

Every day it seems that we hear of someone who is suffering from a terminal illness. My father suffered from terminal lung cancer ten years ago. Other relatives and friends of mine have suffered from terminal illness. Before I go on, this post is not meant to diminish the severity of suffering that many of us have witnessed from those who have or have had a terminal illness.

When people talk about terminal illness, I mention that we all suffer from a terminal illness. 'Life here on earth' is terminal, so we all suffer from a terminal illness called 'life here on earth'.

It seems that we spend all of our life thinking we are immortal when in reality we all will suffer from death here on earth. We should be turning our attention to focus on the prize that God has in store for us after we die.

'Eternal life' is not terminal.
