Jesus said, 'I am the resurrection.' In essence He says, not Yesterday if, not Tomorrow when, but Today because. Living in the past or longing for the future leaves us empty and makes the promises of God of no effect to us. God is our 'ever present help in time of need.' Jesus is the resurrection , now. It's only in the NOW
that time and eternity kiss. Not yesterday if, not tomorrow if only, but today
because He is our Life.
His recollections reminded me of my own teaching on the verb tenses of life. Live in the pleasant (present) tense. Give up the if onlys (past) and the what if fears. (future) I needed that reminder this morning!
