Title: What Happens When I Die? (2)
Series: Big Questions, BIGGER God: Life, Death, and What Happens Next
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: Revelation 20:11-15
INTRODUCTION
Take your Bible this morning and turn with me to Revelation Chapter 20. Last Sunday morning, we began a new series of messages dealing with the BIG QUESTIONS - the pressing questions, the personal questions that we all ask at some point in our lives, that I've titled "Big Questions - Bigger God: Life, Death, and What Comes Next."
This month - and next - we're going to be asking and answering questions like:
- "Is there life after death? (We dealt with that one last week.)"
- "Why do we have to die?"
- "What is the meaning of life if it ends in death?"
- "Can we know what eternity holds?"
- "How should I live knowing death and eternity are real?"
- And then we'll gather together on Easter Sunday morning to answer the most critical question: "What does Jesus' resurrection mean?"
This morning we're asking this question: "What happens when I die?"
Because you see, one day, you will die. I'm not saying that to try and frighten you; it's just a fact. That's not just a possibility-it's an absolute certainty.
You know this: The death rate is 100%. One out of every one person dies.
Now, you can avoid a lot of things in life, but you can't avoid death.
That's why people spend their lives trying to -
- Ignore,
- delay
- or defeat death,
- BUT no amount of
- success,
- wealth,
- or influence
- can outrun it.
If you doubt that, just ask Larry King.
