Life Insurance

A picture of salvation:

You live in a suburb in a nice house with a double garage, some lawn, and a fenced back yard with a small shed therein – very similar to all those who live around you.  You have a couple of nice cars, a couple of kids, and both work at good jobs – just like most all those who live around you.  You have friends and family around, decorate for holidays, and take an occasional trip – just like those who live around you.  You fret over taxes and politics, have doctor and dental appointments and occasionally attend special events – just like those who live near you.  Your house has the usual sitting areas, sleeping quarters, food prep and consumption area and water rooms – just like those around you.  Life is pretty routine and pretty good.

One day the neighborhood finds a life insurance company’s salesman going door-to-door selling “life insurance.”  Such silliness, as everyone knows that all die so there is no way this “life insurance” product is anything other than a scam – a money grab.  But, the idea is pervasive as a means for loved ones to carry on after one dies, so it is actually “life insurance” for others.  Because of the fear of an untimely death or a death process taking all assets, people buy – so companies keep sending sales people.  Occasionally there is the encounter at the front door or sometimes on the driveway.  And there are sightings of one of “them” across the street.   It is a big and important business!

[Such is true of most religions and branches of Christianity – they pitch a “life insurance” but for the one dying.  If one buys into their system, they will be given goodness on the other side of death.  There are many “life insurance” companies out there:  humanism, Catholicism, Lutheranism, Hinduism, Evangelicalism and true Christianity.]

You along with others hear a pitch and will buy into one – all men do.  But, not all stay with their first choice for there are companies claiming their policy is vastly superior and should be embraced rather than the one currently held.

One such “company” is that of true Christianity offering a life insurance policy guaranteeing heaven upon death with no premium.  A person will often have many encounters with reps of this “company” and over time, bits and pieces of the company’s “pitch” begin to take root.

One day it happens, while getting out of the car on the driveway one of their people approaches again offering this very special life insurance package but this time it is different.  Over the past weeks a number of unsettling things have happened causing fear and confusion.  This time the approach is not troubling, but welcomed.  A conversation is welcomed and you buy the product for three reasons:

1. The company will pay the huge indebtedness owed from previous failures to pay and will pay all future premiums because the President of the company paid your debt to the Owner of the company.
2. A company man will move into your home to bring wisdom and protection to your life.
3. You must agree with the company that the past years have been focused on wrong goals and marked by many wrong actions and you must freely and genuinely express deep remorse.

You buy this “life insurance” from this “company”.

Who would ever enter into such an agreement with such a company?  Unless it worked!  And apparently it does for the “company” had a Client who did die only to come back to life.  The One who had died and came back to life could walk, talk, and eat, but also disappear and move through space and time without restriction.  The second life of that Client was well verified by numerous sources and was never disproven.

This life insurance guarantees life after death – a rich wonderful life after dying.  It is a very unique life insurance with unusual requirements.  Other companies take your money and then send your loved ones a nice monetary gift after your passing but really do not offer “life insurance” as does this one.  Why would a person buy a policy that has no proof of insuring life and why would a person NOT buy a policy that has been proven to insure life?  It seems like a no-brainer!

John 3:16, …shall not perish but have everlasting life.  How?  By faith in the work of the Son – Jesus.
