Dr. Death (Jack Kervorkian) died yesterday, June 4, 2011. The 83 year old atheist believed that when you die you just rot in the ground. He said there is nothing beyond this life. This must be the reason why he would help another person commit suicide without the slightest hint of remorse or regret. He felt it was his duty to “help” those with terminal illnesses commit suicide. He didn’t see anything wrong with this practice of murder by suicide. Eventually the courts did and sentenced him to 25 years in prison. It is heartbreaking to think about where this man is spending eternity because his chance of redemption died with him. He might not have believed in God while he was alive but you can be certain he believes in HIM now.
Jack Kervorkian’s life is a perfect example of life without hope. It is so sad to know that there are millions more just like him; lost souls who belong to cults or false religions who share the same hopeless existence. Life without hope is life lite. Having hope in the Eternal God and faith that when we die we will live with him in heaven forever and ever makes this life worth living. I can’t imagine living my life any other way than with Jesus as my Savior and eternal King.
Scripture
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29
