I remember attending Blackhawk Church while in high school. This was more than 10 years ago. I still remember the pastor, Chris. He had passion for Jesus. As young as I was, I enjoyed listening to his sermons about Christ and the joy of living with Him. Just recently, I went online and watched one of his recent sermons. Time sure had grown him white hair, but surprisingly, his eyes were still shining with glory.
"And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over." Deuteronomy 34:5-8
It is amazing to see how the Bible becomes true to our lives. As did Moses, the pastor's eyes did not fail. It is as if the eyes of men who only see the world becomes dark and foggy due the countless amounts of hopelessness and desperation rampant here on earth. For those who seek the Lord, however, reflect directly the glimmer of heaven, the glorious, triumphant coming of Christ again.
"Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:6-10
