The exact location is unknown, but the government of Newfoundland recognizes Cape Bonavista as his official landing spot. Today a statue of him stands overlooking the Atlantic ocean at Cape Bonavista.
The name Bonavista comes from the words, O buono vista!", which means, "Oh, happy sight!" These apparently were the first words John Cabot said when he finally spotted land after so many tiring days at sea.
In 1498, John Cabot's next expedition to Cape Bonavista was his last. He and his crew were never seen again.
A man's days are numbered by God. He alone controls the number of months we are to live. We cannot live longer than that time.
"A man's days are numbered.
You know the number of his months.
He cannot live longer than the time You have set."
Job 14:5
However, those who listen to the Gospel message and believe in God will have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins and have already passed from death into life."
"I tell you the truth,
those who listen to My message
and believe in God who sent Me
have eternal life.
They will never be condemned for their sins,
but they have already passed
from death into life."
John 5:24
