You may live to be a 100 years and for many, it may seem like a long time. In reality, however, a 100 years is a really short time when you think back and see that there were men who lived to be over 500 years.
It seems the close the world gets to its end, the shorter human life span becomes. God placed a curse on man's life by shortening it and he still sends plaques to shorten man's earthly life and this is nothing but punishment for sin.
If you were blessed even to be a friend of God and live up to a 100 years, would that be enough for you do prove your worth? Would you bear good witness to God in this life which is but a route to our final destination?
A 100 years is a really short time and even many men nowadays don't live up to it as many have started dying from even 30 years. We don't know what the future holds for us in this world but we do know that armageddon is coming and the past will always be better than the present.
What really matters is not how long you live on earth but on how great a witness you've been to Jesus. Every true Christian comes to the light and makes his mark on the sands of time so that on resurrection day, even the world will bear witness that you belong to Christ.
There are a lot of people dying everyday and many are still being born. Of those who die, many of them will soon be forgotten but only very few will be remembered for the great works they did while on earth.
When ordinary men die, they are soon forgotten but when great men die, their names are written in history. Seek that greatness then in the kingdom of heaven. Make your mark known. Let the world bear witness even that you belong to the light.
Time is going and really waits for no one. Time is one thing we need ot use wisely when we have it for the dead have no time again.
