Story of A Bad Future Investment

Ancient Egyptians fervently believed in an afterlife, So much so that
Egyptian burial rituals are the only custom familiar to most moderns. For
thousands of years their misguided faith motivated them to build
immense tombs with an ingenuity of design, as well as a cost in labor,

money, and blood, that still astonishes people.
    Over the centuries the Egyptians prepared each other for eternity by
mummifying countless people, animals, and even insects. Within a few
centuries, Egypt had critical excess of mummies reverently wrapped in
where, later Egyptians got creative. Nineteenth century European trevelers
exploring Egypt sent home reports of household roofs thatched with
mummies or ground mummies used for fertilizer. Hustling Egyptians sent
make paper. Even more bizarre, millions of mummies were used in place
of scarce timber for Egypt's wood-burning locomotives a far cry from
the destiny that the original emblamers imagined for their beloved
departed and a reminder of the fallacy of holding to a well-intentioned.

REFLECTION..
Ancient Egyptians were right to believe there's life after death, but it's
downhill from there. Almost every world religion, in fact, teaches that death
is not the end. They go wrong, however, with their belief that we can prepare
for eternity through our own efforts.
   Many current false religions, cults, and New Age philosophies offer elaborate
schemes for achieving eternal life or for managing your reincarnation.
The Bible teaches that there's only one way to gain eternal life, though it's
through believing that Jesus Christ gives eternal life to those who have faith
in him ( John 3:16 ).
