After We Die... ?

Some people ask, "What is this life all about, so full of strife."
Some people say they hope real life truly begins after we die... after we die

Some people look into the mirror at night, they see their pain and start to cry
Some people look through tears and cry for the pain we daily fight

Oh this life, Oh this life has begun
Oh there's life, All this life in Jesus

Some people walk down the road aimlessly, nowhere to go
Some people walk through this life looking for hope in after we die... after we die

Some people join hand in hand and side by side finally stand
Some people give the life they hold and find anew this love we've been told

There is no life apart from Christ
Living is dying to your sin and to your flesh
Love is the ultimate weapon to slay ourselves
So God give us compassion that peirces our hearts and inside we'll find...

Oh this life, Oh this life has begun
Oh there's life, All this life in Jesus


new song... may change slightly. Pretty self explanitory I think. This world is full of hopeless people who are trying to find the answer... trying to find "the way". Not only am I speaking of those who are not walking in salvation but also those who think that their salvation is only a means to an end and in the next life we will truly live. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundant... what is that life? Do we think that it is a life of riches or even a life of never going hungry because of the Lord's provision? Do we think it's a life of being set higher than those who don't believe and detesting their sinful lives? Do we think that it's a life of being comfortable or being blessed with our dream job that helps us feel fulfilled? Is it a life that is centered on our own needs or our own good? If this is the abundant life, than I feel that the Apostle Paul may have missed out on all of this abundance. Jesus came to give us a new abundant and eternal life that starts now... this day, and it's not about us. This new life is one of love and the good of others. It's laying down our lives for others and finding Christ's life in its place... and it begins now!
