The concept of eternity is difficult to grasp.  We could describe eternity as “timeless” but we use “timeless” differently than “eternity”.  For example, a diamond ring is timeless beauty.  The ruins of Egypt are timeless.  But Pastor Greg’s sermons are an eternity; they are not timeless.

Jesus had 33 years of time to teach about the impending day of judgment.  We have, at best, 80 years to come to terms with faith and judgment.  Today, we end the church year; next Sunday we begin a new year with Advent.  Today, we focus on the Judgment Day and the coronation of Christ our King of eternity; next Sunday we focus on the birth of that king and begin another cycle of the church year.
