It sounds simple but people alive on earth in sin cannot see anything else but what they are doing now. Satan blinds men into thinking this life will go on and on when, in fact, it is so short compared to eternity, just a short while. It is so easy to see. It is so short. The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, and our life is over and eternity awaits.
Time is so short.
Our time is so precious because it determines our eternal life. So short, indeed. We must listen to the voice of our Savior. This is no laughing matter. It is our soul that is at stake.
