The last couple of Sundays before the end of the Church Year (November 28, 2020) focus on end-life concerns and the second coming of Jesus. For some, a different view is offered. This different view is based on the conviction that we are in the process of on-going transformation. Our earthly death is a significant part of the transformation process which many believe will continue after our earthly death. After all, life is infinite based on our belief that God is infinite. Our transformation here on earth is propelled by our allowing Jesus to develop with us a personal, intimate relationship by which our relationship with God our Creator and the Holy Spirit likewise becomes more personal. For some of us it is difficult to accept that at our death we won’t necessarily be asked to give a report on what we have accomplished in life. What is most important at the end of our earthly life is the extent of our development of our relationship with the goodness and kindness of God. What we would otherwise point to as the good we have done during our earthly life will be by-products of how well we have come to know Jesus and how faithfully we have lived in imitation of Him.
