Title: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow?
Contents
Yesterday is the past, today is the present, and tomorrow is the future. Before God created the heavens and the earth, there was no time yesterday, today, and tomorrow past, present, and future. The God who created time is not in time.
Time, the past, the present, and the future, only applies to the heavens and the earth and all things that God has created. The only true God, having no beginning, no end, and no form, is also invisible in time and space.
The only way to see God is through faith in Jesus Christ, who came in time according to God's will and took off time. This is because faith in Christ who has put off time is the reality of taking off time.
In the Bible, the old man refers to those who are in time, and the new man refers to those who are out of time. Those who are in time are still in the flesh, and those who are out of time are not in the flesh, but in the spirit.
There is no rest in time. Therefore, while he was in time, "Jesus said to them, My Father is working until now, and I am working..." (John 5:17).
God sent the Son in time so that those who love God might put off time with him and enter the rest of God by believing in him. The way to achieve this is the way of the cross. The Bible testifies to this as “the doctrine of faith.”
There is also eternal rest in which God rests in the God who exists. This rest that does not belong to time is the rest he has decided to give only to those who imitate the image of his Son.
May we all be united with His Son, Jesus Christ, through faith working through love, to take off time and enter the rest of God, who has no time. “He who is united to the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17). Amen, thank you Lord.
