Time is of the essence, for our time on this earth is
limited. Today I spent more time in the garden, and what a bonus it turned out
to be. I had two objectives: dispose of fallen leaves left over from autumn and
clear away rubbish from behind the garden shed.
Time is reckoned to be the fourth dimension, and for me to
operate within the confines of my garden, I required time. In fact, for any of
us to do anything, we require time to do it, even if it’s thinking, which demands
no external effort on our part.
We live our time in a finite world that exists in infinite
space - universal space that has no ending, because if we travelled at the
speed of light we would never reach the beginning of its expanding fourth-dimensional nothingness where the
beginning has no end.
God has given us an existence in time and He has made that
time finite, after which our material chemical elements merge with those of the
world and of the universe, through decomposition after death, or when cremated.
According to the Bible there will come a time after death
when there will be another existence for us. Our bodies will be reconstituted
into everlasting spiritual ones; some destined for Hell and others for Heaven;
some for purgatory and some for bliss, to experience a dimension of time
measured differently to the present one, for there will be no sun and no
universe as we know it.
Meanwhile, we are told to ‘redeem the time’, because the
days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15, 16)
