It was only yesterday that my mind was cleared up with my forgotten question about life after death. Though the Bible said it clearly that there’s life after death, but many people including myself still was doubtful and afraid about it.

The parish priest celebrating with us in the special occasion every November 1 and 2 had made an analogy for the first time explaining more about the life after death by using a scenario of a baby inside the womb of his/her mother.

According to him, our life here on earth can be compared with the life of a baby inside his/her mother’s womb. If only the baby can understand when we talk to him/her describing our world how beautiful it is, no matter how we convince him/her to get out, he/she still prefer to stay inside the mother’s womb because of the comfort he/she is experiencing inside. However, because of the reality that he/she cannot stay inside forever, he cannot do anything, but get out from there after a specific period of time – normally after nine months. There’s no wonder why a baby when born will always cry.

In the same manner, we all want to stay in this world forever because we already feel comfortable and familiar with it, though life is not all the time happy and joyful.

However, there’s a time for everything: a time to be born, a time to live a transient life here on this world and a time to leave from this world. To be best prepared for the last moment, we need to be ready for every moment. To do it, we need the Best Information Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE).

It’s a reality in this life that we all die. When? Only God knows.

Like the child in the womb, it’s hard for all of us here on earth to perceive what’s waiting outside in this world – life after death. And everyone is afraid of the unknown. To help us on this struggle, we need God’s words (BIBLE).
