Living

On the way to visit some believers in Queenstown, Guyana, we passed through the community of Schoonoord. On the side of a supermarket this slogan was painted in large blue letters:

THIS IS LIVING!

It immediately brought to mind the verse that says, “Lay hold on eternal life” (1 Timothy 6:19), or, as another translation says, “Lay hold of what is really life.”

In its context, this verse is telling us that the person who only lives for this life, and builds for things down here, is going to find that it is all, as Solomon said, “Vanity and pursuit of the wind” (Ecclesiastes 1:14, JND). A life of pleasure and self-indulgence is not what life really is. Whatever earthly riches we may accumulate are not going to satisfy.

However, the person who lays up for the time to come will lay hold of that which is real and lasting. That is why the Lord said, “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20).

Are you living for this life only, or are you living in view of heaven and eternity? Live for Christ. . . it is well worth it! THIS IS LIVING!
