Jesus said to his disciples, "because knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven has been granted to you. to anyone who has more will be given and he will grow rich."
Jesus speaks to his disciples and thus Jesus speaks to us, for we are his disciples.
I just returned from my trip to australia. It was a good trip, and i learned something about time.
Time isn't what it seems.
On my journey to Australia, I departed on July 8th, 2008 at 11 am from Dallas. I arrived in Sydney, Australia at 11 am July 10, 2008. July 9th completed disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. I never saw it or experienced it.
On the journey home, I departed at 9:10 am on July 22, 2008, tuesday morning, and I arrived at Vancouver, Canada at 7am July 22, 2008, tuesday morning. I was given the opportunity to relive july 22nd, 2008. I experienced July 22, 2008 twice.
Time is a fascinating thing.
But what is most fascinating about time isn't the fact that it slips away with every tick of the clock. Time is always moving, regardless of whether you lose a day or gain a day, you keep moving through time.
Yet, when it comes to the mystery of the kingdom of God, something happens. Time meets eternity. When we look at Christ, walk with Christ, talk with Christ, we experience the face of eternity breaking through our time table.
In Jesus time and eternity collide. This is the knowledge of the mystery of the Kingdom of God. The disciples struggled with this reality. Yet it remained part of them. As disciples, they no longer kept time but rather eternity kept them.
As people of faith, we must remember it isn't so important to be worried about time slipping away, but rather we must remember we take eternity with us every where we go.
Because of our faith, eternity must be seen all over our face by the way we choose to live. As we walk with Christ, we are guided by eternity and the light of eternity shines forth scattering the darkness of limited time.
Time and eternity collide in the one who has faith. Remember this as you move through the day. Eternity not only awaits us, eternity accompanies us on this journey.
