i don't think the world is going to end tomorrow or at midnight or whatever. but as i lay in bed, i wonder, "what if?" i'm not scared of hell. i don't think i'm even scared of dying. i'm not scared of being with God forever. i'm not scared of the new heaven and the new earth. i am scared of the FOREVER part, though. and what about people who aren't saved? in theory, i understand that God is merciful in saving the elect, because everyone deserves to die, but it doesn't seem to fit with God's character. i just don't understand.
and maybe that's the point.... one of my high school Bible teachers would say: it's too wonderful for me to know.
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
