Echoes of Eternity

The morning is cool and nice for digging... Uh, did you say 'digging'? Yes, my morning workout was put to good use this morning. Now on this nice and cool morning, I am hot and sweaty and more than a little dirty too. Will we have to dig in heaven? Pretty sure that 'have to' is out, but I'm not sure about 'want to'. However, the very action of digging speaks of earth and soil and things that are down under. Not in Australia down under, but down under heaven. We speak of eternity in faint echoes from the Bible. The secular books and movies showing this thing or that know no more than we do about heaven, and perhaps quite a bit less than we give 'em credit for. However, we all have visions of what heaven might be, and I suspect there is some faint echo of eternity coming from the Holy Spirit in us. If we put all of our faint echoes together, and then add it to what we can glean from God's word, we might come some tiny bit close to a hint of what might be a small impression of the greatness of eternity with Jesus our Lord. We are so very bound to the earth and our experience here that we can hardly know the wonder behind God's promise to bring us home one day. We go on faith in God's greatness, and in that same limited view we can hardly know the greatness of God either. On that subject, however, we do have much to study and read and learn in God's own word. A great God must surely have something great in store for you and me.
