Today's passage is kind of related to what Pastor DeWayne talked about on Sunday. The life we live now is not limitless. We have a fixed amount of time on earth and we are ultimately waiting to go see God and spend eternity with Him. I never really wondered how that process would be, though. In verse 52 it says, "in a flash." When I read the heading for this portion of the passage I was kind of amused, and I thought "What does this mean?" It really is just unfathomable that the change from mortal to immortal is going to happen that fast.. when you hear stories of going to heaven there's that one question that you're going to be asked, "What makes you deserve to be in heaven?" or something along those lines. Is it after the question that you're going to transform? Thinking about it is scary and truly amazing.
That is the victory we have in Christ. Our lives will not end when our natural bodies die, but we will have eternal life in the spiritual body like yesterday's passage says. The victory in Jesus is life, but while we are in our natural form, we should still make the best of it and life according to God's plan. He has plans for everyone and while we fulfill them we should reflect God's heart - love, kindness, forgiveness, mercy, grace.
So I want to live my one life and be happy in it serving God. I do not want to waste the time God has given me on this earth, so i want to be more loving, supportive and prayerful towards those around me. Don't you?
