[Rev. Doc]

His Real Purpose

"Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.'"
Luke 19:9-10

The idea of hell and judgment are nowhere to be found in Betty Eadie's bestseller, Embraced By The Light, on the N.Y. Times bestseller list for more than 40 weeks, including 5 weeks as #1. In November 1973 Eadie allegedly died after undergoing a hysterectomy, and returned five hours later with the secrets of heaven revealed by Jesus]. Eadie says that Jesus "never wanted to do or say anything that would offend me" while she visited heaven. Indeed, Jesus seems to be relegated to the role of a happy tour guide in heaven, not the Savior of the world who died on the cross.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you to always remember Christ as Savior.

"God is none other than the Saviour of our wretchedness. So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities...Those who have known God without knowing their wretchedness have not glorified Him, but have glorified themselves."
~Blaise Pascal

Well, it's a good thing we're there for Eternity in Heaven. That seems like a very loooooooooong tour.
