Before You Exit

Before you exit.

It was a band of the same name that Christina Grimmie made her final performance with before entering into eternity.......she was twenty-two. I came across her cover of In Christ Alone this week, which she posted within a few months of moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in singing.

Before you exit.

That's when we need to know where we will spend eternity.......because after will be too late to change course.

Christina knew where she would be, and so did those that knew her. How encouraging it is to hear them speak, during her memorial service, of the hope they shared and knew.

Before you exit.

"Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
(Joshua 1:9)

"If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled,
and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,
which ye have heard,
and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven;
whereof I Paul am made a minister;"
(Colossians 1:23)

"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations,
but now is made manifest to His saints:
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
(Colossians 1:26-27)
