It’s the part of Christianity that is not often talked about but is central to its doctrine embedded in the Gospel. Theologians call it eschatology, that which is “concerned with death, judgment and the destiny of our souls.” But Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, and her daughter Rachel Ruth Lotz Wright, simply call it, “Preparing to Meet Jesus.” The Bible is very clear that no one really knows when the end of the world is, although Anne is certain that with all the wars and evil erupting over the globe, it is nearer than we think. However, thousands of people every day will see the end of their world. They will die: some old, some young, some suddenly and without warning, others will have time to prepare. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Anne and Rachel Ruth talk about their new book, “Preparing to Meet Jesus,” which is a “21-day Challenge to Move from Salvation to Transformation.” It’s a call to live each day to the fullest looking at the example of the Patriarch Abraham, as he sends out his servant to look for a wife for his son Isaac, who will be the grandfather of the twelve sons of Jacob, aka Israel. It is in the sought for qualities of a bride, that the authors see the same in those believers who are part of the Church, the Bride of Christ.
