“Eternity Is God’s Gift To You”
God loves you with an everlasting love, a love that’s stronger than death, and that fills eternity.
In spite of what Dr Who, the Time Lord from the BBC television series, might tell you, we haven’t mastered time yet. Time goes by at the same speed for all of us. It’s what we do with it that counts.
There is only one Time Lord, and that’s our God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
While you’re thinking about eternity, I want to do a thought experiment with you based on an illustration told by Des Ford. It starts with the mightiest mountains in the world: the Himalayas. Think of a bird that, once every million years, comes and takes away a grain of soil from the Himalayas. How long will it take that bird to get rid of the Himalayas? That length of time is just the start of eternity!
What God offers us is eternity. And if God wants to give us something as infinite as eternity, how could we finite humans ever earn it? It has to be free.
Our God tells us that he loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3), a love that’s stronger than death (Song of Solomon 8:6), and that fills eternity. Because of what Jesus did at the Cross, eternity is there for the taking. It’s what you do with it that counts.
I’ve sometimes told people that birthdays don’t matter when you’re going to live forever. How does God’s assurance of eternity change the way you see your life today? Do you think it will make any difference to those with whom you come into contact? Think about how seriously you see eternity.
