He is also eighty years old. I told him about my growing conviction that the Lord will indeed return in my lifetime. The Bible tells us repeatedly that this world is passing away, that it is a mere shadow. Movies about virtual realities, like Matrix and The Thirteenth Floor, give a crude idea of worlds which are no more than digital programs but which appear real to the inhabitants of those programs. True reality is NOT this world.
True reality is the Kingdom of God.
Tear your eyes off the dazzling deception of this dark world and fasten them instead on the glorious face of our Risen Lord. But to those who have rejected Him, it will be terrifying. Decide now whom you will serve, the world or the Lord, and know for certain that your decision is forever.
