After reading today’s passages, use the guiding content below to help you reflect, respond, and engage with one another.
Because we know how the story turns out, we follow the biblical mandate to live in light of what’s to come. Today’s introductory reading and the following days help us understand how to live with the end in mind, recognizing our place in God’s work of making all things new.
As we begin this new reading plan, take some time to reflect on some of the areas of life that make you long for eternity. How does the hope of eternity shape your everyday life?
The hope of eternity shapes my life because it motivates me to live more spiritually than humanly. The delights of eternity can be had here in some ways if we only keep keeping on and stay true to our God-given desires.

I can look forward to the goodness and everlasting joy God offers
God is faithful and his promises are sure and I look forward to seeing him and being with him for all eternity
The hope of eternity reminds me that the things of this world is temporary and that I am more to God than what I know. It reminds me that God is patient and graceful with my growth and I should be the same with myself. Also, knowing that God is the same forever reassures me that I will be forever loved by Him.
Amen!
Yessss !!
Amen
I think at this stage of my life…when I think of the hope of eternity I think that there’s still time. Still time to grow. Still time to heal. Still time to love God more. And knowing that I have eternity with Him reminds me to keep taking steps forward.
