The story is told of Abraham Lincoln traveling on horseback during a period of spring flooding. Another traveler asked him how he intended to cross a particular river that was still many miles ahead of him. Lincoln reportedly replied that it was his policy to never cross a river until he first reached it.

Except for those alive when Jesus returns, all of us must traverse the river of death. And when we do, we shall stand before the Ever Living One. And in that singular moment, what we are trusting in to gain admission to heaven will be fully revealed.
