--WINDOW INTO WORLDLINESS~~

---REMEMBER THE ETERNAL~~
--By: Steven Lombardo/ Abiding Word Ministries~

--Worldliness also forgets the eternal. The people of Noah's day did not seem at all concerned about future life. There was little, if any, thought about eternity until the flood came. The people of Lot's day did not give consideration to the future until the fire fell from Heaven in judgment. It was too late for them. Noah's and Lot's warnings went unheeded. The people forgot the eternal.

What about eternity? The thrust of Jesus's words here is that of awakening His hearers to the reality of eternity. Every person one day will be there, in Heaven or Hell. A sea of stuff, having occupied attention and energy in this life, will vanish. Job said, "Naked I cam from my mother's womb, and naked I shall return there" (1:21). Of course, the wise person is the one who makes preparation for the future. The people Jesus mentioned from Noah's and Lots's time were involved with innumberable things: eating, drinking, marrying, buying, selling, planting, building--for the most part normal activities but temporal, not eternal.
--The wise person is the one who has made preparation for eternity, who can say when death is imminent: "I am ready when the Lord is ready. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!"
