Why Life Now Matters

Why Life Now Matters

video - Randy Alcorn
It is easy to think what we do on this earth doesn't matter because Heaven is unearthly. But Randy Alcorn suggests that our whole perspective on the importance of things now changes when we understand the reality of the New Earth. Suddenly, things in this life such as trees, laughter and service matter because this life is the beginning of a life that will continue without end on the New Earth.

Luke 14:15 - "Blessed Is the Man Who Eats at the Feast"

In this clip Randy Alcorn points out that eating and drinking are often thought of as inherently bad because they are part of this physical world. But that is really an idea that comes from Platonism. In Luke, Jesus says that getting to eat at the feast in God's kingdom is a blessing. From this Randy argues that there is no reason to think that we will only eat and drink in a spiritual sense when in Heaven. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
