A glittery coffin!

People say there are only two things sure in life, death and taxes. I don’t know about the latter, but the former is correct. Death is sure. The bible says, Hebrews 9:27 NKJV, ”And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” I recently saw an ad for “glittery coffins,” made and sold in the UK. The advertising company makes coffins that can be categorized as nothing short of spectacular! They offer options such as full glitter coffins in a variety of colors. They even sell personalized coffins with names and jewels on them where clients can design their eternal box themselves. Looking at their options I wondered, “Who would care about having a glitter coffin?” I mean don’t get me wrong, they are very pretty, and I don’t want to be buried in a plain wooden box but the question is does it really matter what your coffin looks like? At the end of the day, you will be a dead body lying in a pretty casket all dress up and going nowhere but back to the dirt. The important point I’m trying to make is this, a glittery casket is fine for a dead body to rest but when you die where will your soul rest? So many times, I have heard people say, “God doesn’t look at the outside He judges the heart,” then shouldn’t we make our heart for God our focus? I know there are times we want to dress up our situations, so no one can tell what we are really going through and at times that is what may be best. But always remember no matter how dressed up you are or how glittery your coffin in the end God will judge your life and deeds. Don’t be caught with a filthy soul lying in a beautiful casket, trust me eternally…you won’t benefit. Think about it.
