Immortality, Eternity and Humanity [Part II]
Click here to read the first part
As the first part has gone unfinished for such a long time, I decided that it’s time to wrap everything up and write the second part for this article before everyone want to be immortals.
Today, let’s take a look at Ecclesiastes written by none other than Solomon. It’s sometimes dubbed by people as the “Vanity Book” because he examines all things and found out that everything is vanity (1:14) and there is nothing new under the sun (1:9). This also includes works that we think might be useful for humanity and mankind, but actually it is not worth anything in the long run.
Think about this, maybe you’ll spend years of your life trying to make that social organization for humanity and let’s say you achieve it by the time you’re 30 or 35. You’ll be running it for 40 years or 50 years if your life permits. After that? The control will go to someone else, maybe your children or something else, and it might fail then. There can also be disasters, economic breakdowns and many things that will render this useless. What you build in years might be going down crashing in one day.
So what will we do then? Entrust it to Jesus.
You’re thinking that you’ll doing something big, but maybe what you’ll do is only making a small picture. As in a puzzle, maybe you’re thinking big but in the end you’ll just end up being a 3x3 or 4x4 puzzle, because you did it in your own. God knows what He’s doing and He has the masterplan for thousands of years into the future, heck, even into eternity He knows all. So what are we compared to Him?
In all our life maybe what we’ll do is just a 40 years service to humanity and even so it only reaches a limited number of people. But with God’s masterplan, even though you feel you’re small and you’re not doing much and nothing big, actually God might be using you as a part of His 1,000,000 pieces puzzle. Even though you feel you’re only one puzzle piece while you see others and they seem like they are a 4x4 puzzle pieces, rest assured that no matter how small you are, you are a part of God’s wonderful and magnificent plan. You might not see the results straight away, maybe not even in your lifetime. Ruth and Rahab seemed to be just no-ones in the long story of the Bible, but in the end, they actually have some significant part in the long upcoming of Jesus and the big picture of God’s plans.
So what will you do? Be an immortal without God or be a mere mortal with an immortal, vast, unlimited God?
I think the answer is clear now.
