“Knocking on Heaven’s Door” was a song written through the perspective of a dying sheriff living his last moments. His badge and gun were to be removed because he didn’t need them anymore. If we heed the message, we’ll live as if our activities in this world will have an end. Only if they had eternal value will they be taken with us into the next world.
Paul knew the yearning for the promise of heavenly peace and rest.
Philippians 1:23-24
For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless, to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.
Give it some thought.
