Planning For Retirement
Thursday, March 11, 2010 • Posted March 11, 2010

It is a much talked about subject today and many people are very concerned if they will be able to retire and what kind of retirement will they have. One question is," will they have enough money to retire," and another is, "where will they retire and what kind of home will they live in". It is a good thing to plan for the future and not to just live for today. Thinking about these things reminds me of something in the Bible. The Bible speaks a lot about the future. First and foremost is where will we spend the future? There are only two possibilities. We will either be with God or we will be cast out and away form God. If we have ever called upon Jesus Christ to be our personal Lord and savior, we are Heaven bound, (John 14:6). If not, we headed for a place of outer darkness and eternal suffering and torment, (Revelation 20:11-15). For Christians, their retirement comes as a package deal. We are told not to worry about it if we have trusted Christ, (John 14:1). Second, there is enough room for everybody and our permanent retirement dwellings are being built today, (John 14:2). Third, Jesus is coming to take us there, do not worry we will not miss the boat, (John 14:3). I do not know about you, but my wife and I are looking forward to our heavenly retirement. See you in Church next Sunday.
