As I sit here enjoying the morning, I begin to wonder how much more glorious it will be in eternity. I wonder if I will ever get tired of watching the sunrise. It will be more glorious, more colorful, more of everything.
With that in mind, it occurred to me that I am not tired of watching the sunrise now. The earliest I can remember really getting overwhelmed by a sunrise was the morning I was coming down the grapevine to an awesome panorama of California’s central valley. I was probably around 18. So using that as a possible beginning, I figure it is been over 58 years since I began enjoying sunrises and I still love them.
I don’t think I will ever run out of sunrises to enjoy, or the excitement of watching them develop.
In eternity, assuming that sunrises are still available, I might be able to choose the location of my sunrise. I might be able to watch the sun come up from the top of Mount Everest. I can certainly go back to the beach of Maui, and revisit the meadow in the mountains. There are vistas everywhere that I can see.
Maybe I will be able to witness some of the creative acts of God.
I could title this death thoughts. You certainly have a different perspective on death and eternity when you are coming from a position of a believer in Jesus Christ. It brings to mind Paul’s statements about death.
(1Co 15:55 KJV) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?Great thoughts as we approach the celebration of the Resurrection.
