ILL. One day a man was talking to his grandson right after he had graduated from high school. And he asked, "My boy, what are your plans? What are you going to do with your life?"
The grandson said, "I plan to go to college & then graduate from college. His grandfather said, "Great, what then?"
"After I get out of college I plan to start my career." "Fine," said grandpa, "what then?"
"Well, I guess I’ll get married & settle down & have a family." "Fine," said the grandpa, "what then?"
"To be honest with you, I really want to make a lot of money, & have enough to save for a rainy day." "All right," said the grandpa, "what then?"
"Well," he said, "If I can, I plan to retire early & sit back & enjoy life. We’ll travel & see the world."
"All right," said the grandpa, "What then?"
"Well," said the boy, "I guess like everybody else, someday I’ll grow old & die." "All right," said the granddad. "But what then?"
The Gospel is needed because it is the only thing that answers the question, "What then?"
