in Ecclesiastes 3:11 we read these words God has put eternity in our hearts that means that every one of us has a hunger and a longing for God even if we don’t know it that even when we might be rebelling against God we might be saying I won’t have him to rule over me there’s still this empty place in our hearts and God is the only one who can fill that one of the challenges we have in our culture is we try to fill that with everything else don’t we we try to find meaning through riches or relationships or Pride or money or sex

or drugs or whatever everything we stuff into that space doesn’t fit cuz that space was made for God he created eternity in our hearts hardly anything’s Eternal in fact nothing in this world is eternal and given enough time everything crumbles and returns to dust and that’s why you and I live in an antsy world isn’t it we see around us the things that we used to think were immovable and they’re gone and unfortunately for us today the word Eternal and especially the word eternity has lost its meaning and Eternity is a

time thing for us but eternity is not Time Eternity is beyond time we don’t understand eternity because we have no presedent Don and I were talking about it this week at home and we were talking about how hard it is to wrap our our minds around something that never began and never ends something that has no beginning and no end but that’s what eternity is we live in a world which given enough time everything crumbles and nobody remembers us and life is ultimately meaningless and absurd and if you don’t understand what God has given

to you in his word to give meaning to this life it’s very difficult to make it all the way through because in Jesus Christ Christ Alone is it possible for us to discover the meaning of Eternity I want to talk about eternity in history eternity in your heart and Eternity in heaven first of all eternity in history let’s begin in many respects the idea of associating history with eternity is absurd eternity is you see one of the great Mysteries of the universe one of the great mysteries of God everything is now to the Lord Jesus

Christ This is a mystery and it is difficult to get our minds around it and it stretches us does it not it reminds me of that powerful thought that if the god you worship is small enough for you to understand he’s not big enough for you to worship I don’t understand all of this I learn everything I can from the revelation of the scripture but when I’ve learned all I can learn about God there’s still much so much more about God that I can not know one day I will know but I don’t know now so what that means for you and for
