What happens when we die is a mystery. Read 1 Corinthians 15:50-52. Jesus has promised eternal life to those who believe in him. He demonstrated the power of God when he defeated death through the resurrection. The early apostles believed in Jesus and eternal life so strongly that they chose being executed over renouncing their faith in Jesus. All humans have at least an interest or curiosity about paranormal and possible life beyond this current reality. As Christians, we glean what we can from the Bible. The Apostle Paul wrote that the dead will be changed from perishable to imperishable. We don’t fully understand what the imperishable looks like, but we trust that our new bodies will be sustained forever. Just because we don’t know every detail of eternity doesn’t mean we can’t trust the Creator who holds the future.

God of the ages, strengthen our faith in you. We believe that you sent your Son, Jesus, to give us hope for eternal life. We know that it is you who holds tomorrow. Therefore, we will hold your hand as you guide us through this lifetime until you guide us to your glory. Amen.
