As we go in to our new week, consider these words from Scottish theologian Thomas Boston who once wrote, our present life is only a short preface to a long eternity (Thomas Boston, Human Nature in Its Fourfold State, in The Complete Words of the Late Rev. Thomas Boston of Ettrick, 8:244).
Sobering if you think it about, isn't it? This should remind us all that to be consumed with the temporal at the expense of the eternal is foolish, vain, and eternally shortsighted.
So, as you go into the week, set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory (Col 3:2-4).
