Far more people are killed in road traffic accidents than die of Ebola. That is no comfort for the people who do die of Ebola, but it puts it all into perspective. Our governments do very little to lessen the car accidents, they are just treated as just one of those things. Those of us who are Christians should not allow ourselves to be frightened out of our wits by the media. This world is not our final home, we are on a journey to heaven where Jesus is preparing us our real home. If we are His it matters not whether we die of Ebola, or a traffic accident or peacefully in our beds at ninety. We all have to die sometime and for the Christian this is the gateway to eternal life. Are you living as someone who is just camping in this world and looking forward to the real life to come? Or are you investing too much in the here and now?
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
