Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young engineer fresh out of university, “What starting salary are you expecting?”
The engineer replies, “$200,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.”
The interviewer says, “Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks’ vacation, full medical and dental, gym membership, all meals provided and a Lamborghini company car to use?”
The engineer sits up straight and says, “Wow, are you kidding?!”
The interviewer says, “Yeah, but you started it.”
What are you expecting from Christianity? Is it wealth, health and a problem-free life? Then, do you want to die peacefully in your sleep? Now that’s funny.
Hebrews 11:35-38
Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented — of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.
Give it some thought.
