My parents grew up in a Christian family. I’ve heard about the Bible since I was little, but from junior high school until I was in my second year of college, I didn’t go to church and lived a life almost unrelated to Christianity.
I was like that, but one reason led me to attend church. The cause of this was a motorcycle traffic accident. When I was a student, I rode a medium-sized motorcycle, and one day I had a car accident on my way home from my part-time job.
I managed to save my life, but I was injured, so I couldn’t do anything for a while and stayed at home. At that time, my parents invited me to go to church because I had nothing to do. At that time, I had no intention of going to school all the time, but strangely, I started going to church.
And when you go to church, you realize that there are certain things. I didn’t know the answer to “What do you live for? What do you live for?” but I was really happy to be told that I understood when I started going to church.
I am sure that there is something certain, but this is one of the certain things, as the title says today, “There is hope beyond death.”
The part of the New Testament that I read today clearly states that. Today, I’ve read only a part of the event, but I’d like to tell you the whole story of today’s episode, not the end of death, and then share with you what this story is trying to tell us.
