Have you ever been sailing?
Imagine yourself looking out at the vast sea before you. You reach down, and you put a hand into the water, and you scoop it up towards you. Immediately, the water starts leaking through your fingers until your hand is empty. That water is a man’s life. From birth to death, it is always slipping through our hands until it is gone, along with all that you hold dear in this world. And yet the Kingdom I speak of — and I live for — is like the rest of the water out in the sea. Man lives for that cup of water that slips through his fingers, but those who follow Jesus Christ live for that endless expanse of sea.
An excerpt from the movie, Paul, Apostle of Christ
Although the above does not appear to be taken from Scripture, it is no less brilliant!
This led me to a beautiful song by Shane and Shane, entitled "
Though You Slay Me" featuring John Piper
Enjoy!
