The legendary actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke turns one hundred on December 13. He confidently asserts, “When you expire, you expire,” and claims that “the most important part of me will always be alive” through the children’s music he made. He is convinced that his subjective opinion regarding his eternity must be true, even though he has no objective basis for it. To have personal confidence that Jesus will bring us into life beyond this life, we can do what we do with all relational realities: we examine the evidence, then we step beyond it into an experience that becomes self-validating. And he offers us assurance grounded in biblical truth that becomes intuitively personal as well. This is where Christmas comes in.
