Dear 228 Classmates,

I attached a paper called “Are Your Sins Forgiven (Why We Need Biblical Atonement)”, and I think you all should read it. Let me be up front to say that I am a Jew who believes that Jesus Christ is our Jewish Messiah and Savior for the whole world. I also believe the Old and New Testaments are God's word to us, even though it was written by mere men. I have believed this way for 53 years.

I think if we are all honest, from time to time we think about dying, and what will await us after death. After all we are in our 70's. You may have healthy and enjoyable retirements, or you may be struggling with crippling health issues, or maybe you are still working, such as I am. Eventually though we know what's coming.

We all have an instinctive desire to live forever, and I'll explain what's at the core of our mortality, and what our Living God has provided so we can live forever in His presence without pain and suffering. Just as it's important to have a Will in place for your surviving family members, it's even more important to have your eternal destiny secure and heading down the right path. I hope you will read this document with an open heart and mind. If you are sincere, feel free to reply with any questions or comments.

Thanks and blessings to you all.

Stuart Kaplan
