Here’s
problem. The software used to create Bitcoin means that only the user has
access to the password and there is no backup to get into the account. He can only make 10 attempts to guess the
right password and he’s already tried 8 times. Thomas has only 2 password attempts
remaining before the system shuts down his digital wallet forever, which
means he could never retrieve his $220 million.
You’ve
probably heard jokes about someone dying and needing a password to get into the
pearly gates. It might be funny, but it’s not true. You don’t need to know a
password to get into heaven, which will be much better than having $220
million. But you do need to know a person.
Jesus said, “I
am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
If you had known Me, you would have known My Father” (John 14:6-7). Christ
also said many will try to get into heaven without knowing Him. He will tell
them, “I never knew you” (Matt. 7:21-23).
“There is salvation
in no one else (but Jesus); for there is no other name under heaven
that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) Have you called
out to Him to be saved? When you receive Him into your life, you won’t lose
any sleep trying to remember a password.

A
six-year-old boy named David was taking a walk one day with his grandmother. They
decided to detour through the local graveyard. Stopping to read the tombstones,
Grandma explained that the first date on the tombstones was the day the person
was born and the second date was the day the person died.
“Why
do some tombstones only have one date?” little David asked.
“Because
they haven’t died yet,” she explained.
When
they got back home, David told his mother about seeing the tombstones in the graveyard.
“Mom," he said with wide eyes, "some people buried in the cemetery
aren’t even dead yet!”
Leave
it to a child to put a different twist on things. Easter puts the most amazing
twist to the story of death. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, Christians
who are dead and buried aren’t really dead at all.
Jesus
told Mary, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall
live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall
never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26).
