“The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength; indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.” -excerpt from Psalm 93
I can’t hear the word “forever” without thinking about the movie The Sandlot. After Smalls hits his step-dad’s signed Babe Ruth baseball across the forbidden fence, he finds himself at a campout where his friends tell him the tale of the murderous Beast who lives behind the Sandlot. Small’s ball is gone, according to Squints, “FOR-EH-VER! FOR-EH-VER! FOR-EH-VER!” Even if Squints’ story of the Beast seems ridiculous, the timelessness of his warning has an eeriness about it. We struggle to imagine anything that lasts forever. And we worry that whatever we’re stuck with indefinitely will even be worth having.
But as Christians, forever should have a totally different connotation.
