It never ceases to amaze me, how some people can be famous... just for being famous.
Often even we as Christians can be tempted to envy the lives of rich or successful people. They appear to have it all together. They are "really living life."
But that is because we look at others around us from an earthly perspective. We judge whether or not a person has a "good life" by health, success, or wealth.
Yet, from God's perspective, there are only two kinds of people, dead or alive. It matters not that a person is deemed a success in life. Without Christ they are without life.
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Eph 2:1-5 (NIV)
