On graduation night, a father said, “Son, what are your plans?” The boy said, “Dad, you know I’m going to college.”
The dad said, “That’s right, but what then?” The boy replied, “Well, I’ll want to get a good job and get married.” The dad said, “Well, that’s also fine. But, what then?”
The boy said, “Well, I’ll work the required years and then retire.” The father replied, “That’s good — but what then?” And the boy said, “Well, I don’t know — I guess I’ll get old and die!”
The dad said, “That’s right! What then?”
And the boy dropped his head as he realized he had planned his entire life without planning his eternal destiny.
The Bible teaches that man is destined to die and each of us will give account of himself to God (Rom. 14:12).
Let me ask you, What then?
