LIFE- THE SHORT VERSION OF A LONG JOURNEY #948/ EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

LIFE- THE SHORT VERSION OF A LONG JOURNEY

 

Have you ever heard anyone say, "the earth is eternity's dressing room?"

The first time I heard that I was preaching in Washington, DC, for an old family friend. It was the first years of my evangelistic ministry, and I had ventured out to the East Coast. Everything was new and exciting, and all I could see were good things ahead of me as I traveled this road of life.

When I heard that statement, I thought it was catchy and cool, so I made a note of it. Over the years, as I would preach, I would use that statement again if the occasion needed it.

"The life your living is eternities dressing."

I had no idea how true and powerful that statement was in those years. 

To experience life is to experience God. Everyone who breathes air, whether they've never been close to a church or introduced to a Christian, experiences God every day. Why is that?

Because our heavenly father is no respecter of persons, all those with the spark of life in them who have come from the father's bosom are dear to his heart. That's the very essence of John 3:16. 

"for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son."

The apostle Paul tells us that nature speaks of God. The scriptures tell us that every man and woman has a witness in their lifetime, and I believe Jesus appears to every person sometime in their life with the opportunity to believe on his name.

When you investigate the parallel between earth and heaven, you'll realize that they are the same in many ways.

The pattern God gave for the tabernacle in the wilderness was a copy of the heavenly tabernacle. It was a preparation for men and women to be able to step into the heavenly's by touching the earthly.

When Jesus came, he came to exhibit the father, and he was the prototype of God on earth.

Then because of the cross and the resurrection, we have been made like him so that when we see him, he will be like us.

Life is indeed the Short Version of the long journey, eternity.
