We all long to have a lasting impact, to overcome death by making our names great so that all will remember. But this world is passing away, with its desires (cf. 1 John 2:17). How do we truly participate in the eternal? By following the will of God. We invest in the eternal through our commitment to God’s work (giving of time, talents, treasure). Let’s commit ourselves once again to participating in what God is doing and rest our need for eternity in Jesus.
