I have
good news for you, no, make that GREAT news! You can spend eternity
in Heaven with Jesus. He said in John 14:1-3, "Do not let
your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my
Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have
told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you
to be with me that you also may be where I am."
One day
the faithful child of God will spend forever with the Lord!
So, what's
in it for you? Joy in this life and eternity in the next life.
World Bible School is a tool that you can use to learn the Word
of God and discover how to become His child. It is our prayer
that the Lord will richly bless you in a study of His Word!

Eternal Life. My father died recently and he was nearly 91 years
old. When we think of a man of that age we refer to them as being
'an old man'. When you look at time from man's perspective then
you can accurately say that 91 is old but how do you compare
91 years with eternity? There is no way that I can paint an accurate
picture of eternity but let me try. Imagine that you have a gigantic
water bucket. When I say gigantic I am not joking because this
particular bucket will hold all of the water in the entire world.
Here is your assignment: empty all of the water from the world
into the bucket. All of the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean,
the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Amazon
River, the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes and every other
body of water. Here is the procedure that you will follow: you
will take an 'eye dropper' and go down to some body of water
and take one drop and place it in your bucket. You will then
lay your eye dropper down for one year and repeat the procedure
each year until every drop of water has been transferred from
the earth to your bucket. Now, how long would that take? I don't
have any idea but I know this, when you finished, eternity would
be no closer to being over than when you began. In reality you
cannot talk about the length of eternity because it has no end.
