Life with God is eternal life – life that never fails and never ends.
~ A course introduction in the online World Bible School
There are short lines that tell much at one point. They choose to let the drapery that conceals their secrets fall as you watch in one sitting – and when they do, their secrets fly loose like how movies depict souls in transit, striding mightily towards you until they have taken over you.
Eternal life, that one phrase out of the quoted line above. I used to measure it the way my age, the minutes, each millenium are quantified. It is, to me, a life that keeps accumulating years to no end. I kept my visions of it in a world that is still dominated by time, even space.
And then, while starting my second course in WBS, I was sitting as if waiting on a gala performance and to be stricken with awe, the short line above unveils its secret to me:
Eternal life is
A LIFE THAT NEVER FAILS AND NEVER ENDS.
A life that never fails. That is what really gets through to me.
A life that never fails.
A life that never fails.
A life that never fails.
Eternal life is a life that never fails. Sorry that, after all my previous discourse, I could not explain further what the line revealed to me. It is enough that you know it has a secret, and this kind of secret is not mine to bare.
