Something that’s so very awesome for us to think about is the fact that our Lord and Savior left paradise to come and be with us on earth. Read that again. Jesus came to earth to be with us. To live life as a human. To experience life as a human. And while Jesus was on earth, he was 100% God and 100% man at the same time. Being 100% man, he understood that we needed to eat and drink to survive. His body required that just like ours does. That was part of his time on earth.
But more importantly, he understood, and still does understand, that our minds and souls needed to be fed. They still do. We need to live daily as if we are still learning and being fed. That will help us serve him. That will help us reach others that don’t know him. More importantly, that will help us serve others that don’t believe in him. We need to feed our spirits in order for us to show others the way.
And what’s really awesome about this whole thing is eternity. We have no concept on what that means. Everything in our lives has a beginning and an end. Think about each day, there’s a beginning and an end. Think about each week, each month, each year, there’s a beginning and an end. Books have opening pages and ending pages. Movies, songs, everything we encounter, have beginnings and endings. Our life on earth has a beginning and an end. Our lives are full of beginning and ends. But eternity has no end. That is our reward for having Jesus as our Lord and Savior. And since that is waiting for us, I believe that we should feed our minds, our spirits, and our souls, and serve others just as Jesus served us. So let’s never forget this: Eternity is offered and rewarded because Jesus loves us. Always has. Always will.
