Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.” John 11:25,26

There is life after death (1 Cor 15:19). The Bible is unequivocal about that. This truth gives us a faith that takes us beyond the grave. Resurrected bodies, worshiping Jesus for ever and ever.

In the final analysis, walking in the presence of Jesus comes down to two simple little words: “Follow Me”. Those of us who want more of the presence of God have to be willing to be where He is, doing what He’s doing. To be with Him where He is, we must want His will and His plan for us.

This isn’t legalism. It’s simply the nature of all relationships. Being together and working toward similar goals is what greases the skids. There simply isn’t any other way… But the legitimate question is raised: What is His will? What is His plan?
