Bible Note: My answer............................................. Hello Gianna, I apologise for taking so long to respond, but I had a hard time thinking of a good answer to your question. Based on the additional information that you gave I would point you towards Luke 23:43. It says, "And He (Jesus) said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." This is something that Jesus tells to a man who is dying right next to him when Jesus is on the cross. This man next to him was actually a thief throughout his life and was being executed for it. However, at the very end of his life, this thief decided to believe in Jesus and worship Him. This shows that Jesus was willing to welcome into paradise a man who spent his life as a thief and turned around at the very end. How much more would he welcome your boss (who according to you was a great person) if your boss decided to believe in Jesus at the very end. I hope that encourages you to have hope for your boss, and also to examine your own life to see whether Jesus is still waiting for you to believe in Him so that you can join all the people in Heaven someday :) |
