Jewish Graves

Jewish gravesites in Jerusalem cost about $3,000 but these Jewish gravesites on the Mount of Olives, facing Jerusalem cost $25,000. Why do these Jewish gravesites cost so much more? Some Jews believe that when the Messiah comes, Jewish bodies in graves facing Jerusalem will be resurrected first.

The Bible says that the Messiah already came 2,000 years ago and that when we die, those who believe in him will go to heaven as discussed, while those who deny him will go to hell, a place of unspeakable, eternal torment (Luke 16:19-31).

See the graves above? One day, your body will end up in a grave. On that day - which could be decades or hours away - where will your soul end up?

If you feel tempted to insist that the Bible is wrong and that there is no heaven or hell, consider this. You wouldn't critique a movie without having watched it, right? Have you ever read the Bible for yourself? I'm not talking about hearing things about the Bible or watching people give their opinions about the Bible. Have you ever watched the movie for yourself?

If not, isn't the destiny of your soul too important to entrust it to someone else's opinion? Why not watch the movie for yourself before passing judgment that could affect the rest of your eternity? If the whole Bible seems daunting, just read or study in-depth the Gospel of John.

But before doing anything, pray to a God you don't believe in. Tell him that you don't believe in him, and even that you don't particularly want to believe in him. But if he really does exist, then you will have no choice but to believe in him. Ask God to show himself to you, if he exists, as you read His Bible.
