Great illustration of how relatively tiny our lives are when compared to the rest of our existence afterwards. It is often tempting to become hyper-focused on little details that matter very little in the grand scheme of things. This video definitely reminded me to be more concerned with my eternal existance over the things that only matter for short while now.
ReplyDeleteI was prompted by his message to go check out some other stuff he has done. His teaching uses a lot of props and is an effective form of communicating the Gospel message.
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a wonderful reminder for those of us who live myopic lives consumed by what this world demands, or what we think it demands. As soon as the red part of the rope was shown, I thought who knows how long that red part is for any of us anyway! I guess we need to have more of a medieval mindset in this regard, instead of Renaissance on.
