The Bible teaches us that we are to hold this world with a very loose grip. It is so terribly easy to become more concern with laying up treasure on earth than with laying up treasure in heaven. Consider that question seriously, for it may well be the most important question of your life. The materialist is a farce. Jesus also taught that the answer to life's meaning cannot be found in pleasure.
All earthly joys are temporal.
Jesus taught that there is more to life than time. An obituary tells how many years, months, and days that a man lived on the earth, but those numbers tell nothing about his life. To reason like that is to miss the point of living. We are not on this planet that we might chalk up so many ticks of the clock. Years have nothing to do with our existence.
