Have you ever just stopped and thought of the idea of eternity? Anytime I have tried this, it feels ethereal and almost makes me anxious. Eternity is forever...unending...non-stop. As obvioius as it may seem, our doom is in the hands of eternity. Think of your neighbor, a distant friend, a colleague or peer. Where is there eternity going to take place? As disciples on this Earth, it is our job to reach out and help others get on the path to Christ. Avoidance or unwillingess as a disciple could keep someone from an eternity of paradise. As scary as it may seem, our job is an important factor in the fate of others. As you go through the day today, reach out to someone who hasn't accepted the gift of Christ...the gift of eternity. The result of this acceptance isn't temporary, it's eternal. One verse that really sums this up is Matthew 28:19-20.
Matthew 28:19-20
New International Version (NIV)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
