Every Friday, we host a cell group meeting in our home. The majority are retirees, but there are younger ones who are on shift work, or those who take Friday off to spend time in fellowship with us. One lady is in the real estate business so has flexi time.
We have just completed the series on a book by John Otberg - "When the game is over it all goes back into the box." The book tells us how to play the game of life. John Otberg's grandmother had taught him the game of Monopoly, a game he used as an illustration about life and death.
The book concludes with this statement, "One day it's all going back in the box. You may have thought in this life, you were Master of the Board. Or you may have played the role of a pawn. Stuff and titles and what passes for good fortune this time around this game board don't really amount to all that much.
But don't despair. Live wisely. the king still has one more move."
Well, the King is coming again.
Sing we the King who is coming to reign,
Glory to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain;
Life and salvation His empire shall bring,
Joy to the nations when Jesus is King. (Charles Sylvester Horne)
