What are you living for?
Love this illustration from Francis Chan and wanted to share it - What are you going to make your life about? How are you going to invest the time you have now?
“Let's imagine this rope goes on forever. Now imagine that this rope is a timeline of your existence. You exist forever.
“And you see this red part - this represents your time on earth. You’ve got a few short years here on earth, and then you have the rest of eternity somewhere else. This is your existence. […]
“And what blows me away is that some of you - all you think about is this red part. All that you think about, that you're consumed with - is this red part. Are you kidding me? What about [the rest of the rope]? […]
“The Bible teaches that what we do in this little red part determines how we're going to exist for millions and millions and millions of years, forever. So why would I spend this little red part trying to make myself as comfortable as possible, enjoying myself as much as I can?
“When we face God, we don't get this chance over again. We get once chance at this life on earth. And it can end at any second for any of us. We have one chance at this, and then comes eternity. And I'm not going to be fooled - I'm not going to live my life focused on just this red part.”
