The post at the end of this commentary has been making its round on Facebook. It is about Steve Jobs thoughts on life as he is ready to die. He tells us that he finally learned what life was all about. Well, I offer it, with this truth.
Not one time did Job mention anything about GOD, Christ, his salvation or anything of an after life. While he claims he learned something about wealth, and what life is truly about, he truly did not learn what the meaning of life is. That's because when it comes down to it, life is not about this world, and as Jesus said when his family came to take him away,
""""Who is My mother, or My brothers? Here are My mother and My brothers. Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's. If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. """" Paraphrased from accounts in Matthew, Mark & Luke
We all must understand this fact. We cannot claim we are for Christ, if we believe this World is all about our physical family. If they themselves are not part of Christ's family, we must understand the hard fact, that while we can, and should, try to win them to Christ, we cannot be blind to the truth. Yes, pray for them if they continually reject HIM, but life is not about the things of this World that will perish, and if they reject Jesus unto death, then they will perish in the second death. We are told to give up that which we hold more dear to us than HIM, that includes our family or we cannot follow HIM.
The cold hard truth is, life in this World is about where you will be in eternity, unless we learn that lesson, we will be like Steve Jobs one day, spending eternity in the place where the fire will never be quenched and the worm will never die. Steve went to his grave admittedly never believing in the true GOD. In fact he is known to have rejected Christianity outright and had been known to actualy practice Zen Buddhism. His last known statements about life proves he was clueless. Sad, truly sad.

Differing opinions is not what I refer to, go ahead and disagree, but in a polite way so we can have a logical respectful discussion.
By offensive, I mean by being vulgar, as in swearing, using God's name in vain, or derogatorily offensive in a way you would not talk to your own Grandmother, Mother, or daughter, and then the comment will be removed.
