Death Doesn't Care

If you have ever visited a cemetery, you'll notice a wide range of ages engraved on the tombstones in that cemetery. They can range from just a few days, to over one hundred years; as is the case when you visit El Paso's historical Concordia Cemetery, where over sixty thousand people lay buried (source), including the infamous John Wesley Hardin and John Henry Selman.

Beloved, no matter if you're a famous gunslinger, singer, Hollywood star, political personalty, or CEO of a major company, death doesn't care (Hebrews 9:27) — it plays no favorites — shows no partiality, claiming both the famous and the not-so-famous (that's us folks!).

Knowing the above, let us as followers of Christ, not only "set our house in order" (2 Kings 20:1), but keep our house in order (1 Timothy 4:12-16; 1 Timothy 6:11-19), so that we might receive the "crown of life" and be able to "enter through the gates into the city" (James 1:12; Revelation 22:14).
