Dolly’s cradle has been broken, and, like everything else in this world, needs repairing in a very short time. Nothing here lasts forever, any more than we do.
A few things on this earth last longer than we do, but after this life, there is eternity for us. God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life, so man is in contrast to all the animals, and therefore he lives forever. We have spirit as, well as soul. The great question is,
Where are we going to spend eternity?
We cannot get fixed up, so that we can spend eternity on this earth. The oldest man that ever lived on this earth was Methuselah, but he died at the age of 969 years. There is an end here it is well for us to think of it, for eternity has two sides to it: one of joy, and the other of sorrow. Which will it be with you, dear reader?
God has provided the salvation for us that we need, so that we might have the eternity of joy, and all that He has asked us to do, is simply to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who took our place, and bore what we deserved while He was in the three hours of darkness on Calvary’s cross.
