Time For Eternity

King Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall

and prayed after hearing from the prophet

that he should be prepared to die.

God heard his prayer and gave him 

fifteen more years to live.

II Kings 20:2

Another king, Belshazzar, saw the writing on the wall 

saying, "You have been weighted in the balances

and been found wanting."

Daniel 5:27

Why would somebody want to live 

longer than necessary on the earth? 

Because our eternal quality in life is connected and

determined by our time on the earth.

Time is for eternity.

Jesus challenged the religious leaders of his time about

being occupied with secondary issues and neglecting

the weightier matters.

Matthew 23:23

The weightier matters that he mentions were

 justice, mercy and faith.

These are the things that matter in preparation for eternity.

What somebody said or didn't say; The way how somebody

looks like has very little, if any value in eternity.

Most of the less weightier stuff will just burn away

and be no more.
