Welcome to Hilltop Chapel

 I hope all of you are feeling well today. Good health is an important part of our lives. Somedays are difficult due to our health. Sitting in the Dr’s office the other day I reflected on all the time I spend in offices like this one. Waiting to see the Dr. to hear what he/she has to say about my latest health issues. As we age(and I’m going on 77) we find ourselves going to dr’s way to often. But to keep going in good health that is what it takes. How many of you today feel you are in reasonably good health? Most of us take pretty good care of ourselves, when we don’t feel well we go see the doctor and see what they can offer. We follow their advice in the hope that it will cure all that ails us. We ask ourselves will this prognosis make us feel better or not? What will be the eventual outcome. We all know how much happier we are when we feel good, the world seems somehow better . We spend a lot of our time taking care of our health and rightly so.

 But let’s flip the topic and talk about our spiritual health, you knew I was headed here didn't you. Are we doing the things we should be doing to achieve eternal fellowship with God. In John 14;6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one goes to the father except through me, if you knew me you would also know my Father, also from this day forward you have known him and seen him”. What Jesus is saying here is that your salvation, your redemption, your eternal future in Heaven depends on your personal relationship with Him. “no one goes to the father except through me”. We already talked about all the time we give to our personal health in this world, but what about the time we need to spend on our spiritual health in fellowship with Jesus? What about the time we need to spend in preparation for when Jesus comes again? This time He will come to judge us on what we have done in his name, saving those who have prepared themselves for his coming. Don’t let yourself be caught unprepared. No one knows when Jesus is coming, be prepared to receive him.

 And no one at the end of this life wants to appear before God and Jesus and hear the words, “turn away and be gone, I have never known you”. What we want to hear is “Well done oh good and faithful servant”. Dedicate sometime every day in fellowship with Jesus. Your life will become more fruitful and meaningful. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, your salvation is at hand, open your dialogue with Jesus today, He’s waiting for you, right now! May God Bless You always and keep you safe from all harm,,,,,
