Immortality Breakthrough

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. —John 14:3 Ray Kurzweil is a remarkable scientist and inventor. In a book he coauthored, titled Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough To Live Forever, he contends that science and technology hold the key to immortality. Kurzweil lives on a strict diet enhanced with a regimen of supplements, fully convinced that he will be alive when the immortality breakthrough happens. He is not a crackpot but a respected member of the business community.

In contrast to this optimism about what science can do stands the realism of Moses. “The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow” (Ps. 90:10). At best we live a few decades, and then we are gone like grass in the park.

Far better to trust ourselves to Jesus, who promises to join us to the timeless life of God. He told His disciples, “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:3).

Christ’s followers live in the assurance that when the sun has burned its last and the stars have tumbled from the sky, we shall be alive. We anticipate a life greater than anything we could imagine in our wildest dreams. —Haddon W. Robinson

You've beaten me many times before, you are quick on the draw.

Sometimes it's tough going up against God's word in a race... : )

Good evening, Rus! Hope your Monday wasn't a MONDAY! Hope it was productive.

Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God's Word. We can become immortal if we belong to Him.
