Time Passes On
And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, "As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
Luke 21:5-6 (ESV)
It is hard to imagine the end of something. As we live, we think the way we are today will last forever. Yet, it is evident that things change, and, one day, all that we see today will be gone.
The walls of Jericho fell, Sodom and Gomorrah were instantly destroyed. The magnificent temple was destroyed. In their day, all who were part of any of these magnificent structures would consider it a tragedy that they were destroyed, and they would not have believed that the destruction could take place so quickly.
Everything we have in this life will one day belong to another, be thrown on the garbage pile, or be destroyed. The wise are those who live for the thing that will not and cannot be destroyed.
