The Way of All the Earth

1 Kings 2:2 KJV
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

It doesn't matter who we are;
Rich or poor
Powerful or pauper
Healthy or sickly
Famous or unknown
We will all "go the way of all the earth" which is through the grave. Death is an inescapable fact for all but that blessed generation who will enter into heaven through the rapture. Some people live many years before they face death. Others face it early on in life. Some people die peacefully and painlessly. Others suffer terribly on their way. But none escape the way of all the earth.

And this one fact ought to cause the child of God to focus his life on something far greater than himself. There are souls that are lost and there are people who need comforting and guidance so that, when they go this way, they may do it with the assurance that Christ will be there to meet them.
