Scripture: Daniel 12: 2-3
2 Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. 3 Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.
Scripture Commentary: Don’t gamble with your everlasting life with God.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. These words are spoken at the end of funerals. For some it’s the beginning of an everlasting life with God and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. For others, it’s the beginning of everlasting damnation and punishment in hell with Satan.
This scripture references the resurrection of the righteous and the wicked. One points the way to joy; the other to damnation. There is no middle ground; it’s only one way or the other. Some want to gamble, playing both sides of life. We think our job, money, house and talent are what God judges us on. But this is not so. God gives us material things but He will judge us on what we do with them. When we share what God gives us, we show that we are a servant of God. Otherwise, we only serve ourselves.
What are you doing with the life God has given you? Will you enjoy everlasting joy or damnation?
