We struggle with this because we struggle with eternity. For us time has a past, present, and future. We re here in this sanctuary sharing this moment in time together - the present. We re locked physically into time that moves from past to present to future. But eternity isn t like that.
Eternity has only one dimension - it exists.
Its happening - simultaneously. When we stop to think about that our brains begin to go into overload and shut down. But that s the way it is. And we need to know that. Those who are in Christ are not dead.
