You have reached your destination

I attended a funeral this week. I hadn't been to the particular funeral home, so I put the address in my phone's GPS app.  It dutifully routed me through the various turns.  At last I pulled up at Church and Chapel Funeral Home.  As I did so, the pleasant voice of the app said, "You have reached your destination."

It struck me how accurate the GPS was. My destination, your destination, every person's destination...

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment

Every person on this earth has an appointment, a destination.  Unless Jesus returns first, all will die. And the judgement awaits.

Thank God that 9:27 is not the last verse of Hebrews.

Hebrews 9:27-28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The funeral home may be my destination, but not my final destination. For those that look to Jesus, it is just a brief stop along the way to the real destination. Our destination is at the side of Jesus, in his presence forever.
