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.
The day of your birth and the day of your death mean nothing to heaven's record. Nothing else matters. Jesus is no farce. He is no counterfeit. He doesn't major on minors.
