Eternal Perspective

Psalm 90:3-5
A thousand years in your eyes are merely a yesterday, but humans you return to dust, saying, “Return, you mortals!” Before a watch passes in the night, you have brought them to their end.

Life can seem meaningless when viewed in a “worldly” perspective. Without a belief in something more when this life ends, “dust” would be our final destination. But thanks to Jesus…we believe that God loves us and that there is life after death. Many witnessed the resurrected Jesus. This gives us hope. Jesus instructed us to start building God’s Kingdom now by spreading this good news (Gospel) and by living a life of love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. Our bodies may end this life in dust…but our spiritual lives will continue in a way that is a mystery to us. Jesus promised that God would transform this world into a new creation. We are called to take part in that on-going transformation!
