Eternity cannot
be grasped by the human mind. Even believers tend to think of eternity as simply time without end. But of course, we know better than that. If we could see and understand what lies ahead, we might loose energy for the battle we are engaged in now. So, for reasons that don't concern us, we have not been given the ability to know what is coming by way of concept, because all concept comes from experience. Even imagination comes from experience. Now, we live by faith. He has told us all we need to know and we can not learn details from "after death" experiences of others or any other extra-biblical source. His Word tells us all we need to know now. At the same time, we have the Hope of eternal Life - not a wish, but a holy hope, based on the witness of the Holy Spirit. We know we will be with Him and we know things we see and touch are temporal. We are instructed to love the One with whom we will be for unending non-ages. That certainly puts a petty misunderstanding or even a serious injury or death in perspective. Soldier, don the Armor and move on. ! |
