So this morning I want to remind you of some tremendously important truths from the Scripture. I. Life Is Short. God's Word tells us that our lives are like a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes. If you have ever seen an old-fashioned loom in operation you know how fast the shuttle moves back and forth across the loom. Job said that was how fast his days were passing.
Eternity Is Long.
Eternity is a very difficult concept and nearly impossible to for us to understand. If you could envision the great Rock of Gibralter and a tiny sparrow. Imagine if you can that sparrow flying to the rock and pecking with its beak one time and then flying back to land. Now, imagine this sparrow doing this day after day. Imagine the same tiny bird dipping its beak into the Atlantic Ocean and then flying across the United States and placing that drop of water in the Pacific Ocean.
