With the concept of time and eternity, time is like standing in a place – what we see is limited. God, however, is in eternity, which is like having the map- and He can see beyond where we are. While man finds that understanding eternity is a challenge, God has placed it in our hearts.
.
Everything in Scripture points to Eternity, and everything within us cries out for it. As Solomon observed in the Old Testament, God “has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). God designed us to live in Eternity. His work with us is not finished in this life.
Paul states plainly that what we are going through now is only preparing us for something yet to come–something so glorious and so different from what we have known that it is “beyond all comparison.”
This is the Christian hope. It is more than merely looking on to life beyond the grave. It declares that everything which happens to us in this life is directly related to what is coming–in fact, is getting us ready for it. Nothing, then, is purposeless or futile in our present experience. It is all necessary to the ultimate end.
