Philip Yancey writes about a novelist Saul Bellow being asked a question at a press conference , 'Mr Bellow, you are a writer and we are writers. What's the difference between us?'. Bellow replied, ' As journalists, you are concerned with news of the day. As a novelist, I am concerned with news of eternity'.How few people give any thought as regards eternity, and what that evolves. The moment I became a Christian eternity filled my life, my existence was not just related to this life,there was now an after life. Amy Carmichael said when she was tempted she went out looked up into the sky, and think on eternity. The question is this, what do we think is of most value?,the things of eternity, or the things of time.David Brainerd a missionary to the native Americans, said,'I love to live on the brink of eternity'. The fact is, we are all living on the brink of eternity,only a breath away from that great beyond. What is beyond this scene of time ?,God, the eternal glories , where all pain will cease for those who know Christ ,for those who don't know Christ , pain will never cease, the choice is yours.
