Eternal Glasses

  Oh death where is your sting, and time where is your mark? To be eternal is to have no point of reference, to have none, because none is necessary. Imagine a life of eighty-five years? And then take those years, and divide them into quarters. In each of the quadrants are memories of events that have happened, are currently happening, or will happen? I know, that is only three, but special allowance has been made for when you were a baby, or just too young to remember accurately. But taking that life as a whole, what is that time when played out in eternal time? Isn't it like a puff of smoke, blown and gone forever? A day in your life is a grain of sand on the beaches of Eternity!
  But to look at that life of eighty-five years with any real understanding, we would have had to have lived that life. Eternal time is beyond any reckoning, we cannot understand it? But for you personally, you at your current age, your point of reference, You can imagine the past by reading about history, you are currently living your life the best that you can, and though you are caught up in eternity, you have no understanding of it! So then, when you do take the time to think about things eternal, you say to yourself, How can this be? Eternal life, someone who can never die? This is hard enough to believe, but to understand that this man has the power to give eternal life to you? Well, that is way too impossible to believe!?!
  But because God does exist, and he can offer eternal life to you, how does God look upon us and our lifetimes, you want to know? Imagine that God is on top of a tall building, and below on the Boulevard is a parade just getting under way. Now from this high perch, he can see the beginning, the middle and the end quite clearly. And when he wants to get a closer look at someone or something, he just puts on his eternal glasses, sort of like binoculars, but not quite? Eternal glasses see it all, from the beginning to the end! But with God there is never an end, and for that matter, there was never a beginning? For lack of a better way to say it, I'll call them problems, and only two exist? One is the only thing that God doesn't know? His Birthday. And two is the only thing that Jesus can not do? Lie.
