Echoes in Eternity...

In my Philosophy class this semester we've gotten to do some pretty legit things, such as....watch Troy! And at the moment we're watching Gladiator. I've always liked this movie because I went to Teen Mania, and all the men there LOVE it, and love the main character Maximus (played by Russel Crowe) and how he is a man filled with integrity and just epic manliness. I definitely share the same sentiment towards his character, and one thing he says in this movie just catches me every time, this is what he says:

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity."

It is a powerful statement in my mind, it is thought provoking and even convicting.

I absolutely want to live my life with eternity in mind. When you think about it, this life is so short and fragile- such a tiny part of our entire existence. It makes logical sense to me, to be living this life with eternity in mind, because that is where the real living will be happening, on the permanent level.

Jesus Christ is the one and only way to the eternity that people are going to want. Reflect on His love for you, and the price He paid to buy you from the chains of sin, and live out of that understanding.
