Life's Storybook

A particular chapter of my life had come to an end. It was finished! As I waited to find out what was in store for me next, I got to thinking about how life is just like a story. It is sometimes said that our lives are made up of various chapters. That made me think about how a book has many chapters but the last one is the one that finishes the story. I then realised that, yes, while our lives might be like a story in a book there is one very big difference. Our last chapter will go on for eternity!

Revelation 21 and 22:1-5 tells us something of what that chapter will be like for those of us that have faith in Jesus and have had our sins forgiven.  On the other hand we read in Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13 and Revelation 20: 11-15 of the consequences for those who do not have their names written in the Book of Life.

Every person will have a different story written about them but there will only be one of two last chapters for all of us. One chapter will be our lives spent eternally in Heaven and the other will be eternity in Hell. All of us still have unfinished stories, chapters that are still to be written. It depends on how we write those chapters as to which closing chapter will be the last in our story.


If you are reading this, you are still living and still have time. The pages of your book are still clean, waiting to be written on. How your story continues determines the final chapter for your life. Choose Jesus and Heaven will be the final destination, Ignore Him and Hell is inevitable. Which final chapter will be yours?
