Our work here is in a continuum with Eternity! Yes, Jesus did initiate what He will finish when He comes again. I think the best way to put is to compare His actions to the initiation of a majestic domino effect that will end at His second coming!<BR/>All our lives (and what we do) are as if one of these dominoes set up on the 'table of Eternity' being repared for the fulfilment of His Heavenly Kingdom.<BR/>Not only that: If today's 'man or rabit may be included. Then <BR/>Ecclesiastes 3:11 that says “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end”. <BR/>He has made everything beautiful! <BR/>Everything beautiful in its own time! <BR/>Even though He has set us in Eternity; <BR/>We are made for eternity and find it hard to understand that our duties here are part of that Eternity.<BR/>We forget that it is ‘only in the present that we meet the Eternal God’ because only at that point it is that He can meet us… <BR/>Only the now touches Eternity by its ‘time’ value. <BR/>God is always in the ‘NOW’…<BR/>Only for us there is past and future! <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>A & PAdriana Schalkwijk Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275026189125647368noreply@blogger.com
