Man has end, God is unending
Isaiah 40:6-8 says, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever."
This passage strongly reminds us of the futility of man’s life, and the everlasting nature of God’s Word. And this should lead us to ask important questions, like how do we spend our lives everyday? What kind of things are we pursuing on? Are they things that would have impact in eternity?
Let’s always bear in our minds and our hearts that our life is just very short. It may be later today, tomorrow, or who knows when, we will die. And so we should be sure whether we’re making the most of our lives here on earth, and in doing so, will it benefit us even in eternity. In the Christian perspective, we believe that Jesus Christ offers us this eternal life for every one of us, after we receive His forgiveness of our sins, and we make Him as our personal Lord and Savior. If you don’t believe in eternity, then you might as well reject this offer of Jesus. But even if you don’t, when you find out in the end that eternity is real after all, it would such be a big loss for not accepting this offer. And another thing about this eternality of God, is that when we have Christ in our lives, we can find purpose in our everyday endeavors because we know that we are never without hope and help. We can claim for ourselves every promise that God says in the Bible, and we can then live this life to the fullest.
