To us who are temporal 70-80-90-100 years feels like a long time and the older we get it feels like a short time. Have you ever realized people talk about, wrestle with and do no understand time more than any other thing? Time is an earthy construct that if we do not have an understanding of it, we will create a theology around it that suits our temporal time on earth, rather than God’s big picture understanding of eternity. Our time on earth is only one piece in a very large puzzle. Our piece of the puzzle is very valuable to us, because it is our piece. Our generation is not the puzzle, we are not the capstone, we are not the apex of time, we are only one piece. We are an important piece, but we are only one piece. We must get a grasp on time if we are going to be effective for the eternal plan of God.

Doctrines, theologies, philosphies are all spoken in time but they go throughout the ages. The more off we are in our theology, because we do not understand time, the more we restrict those coming after us. We serve a God who loves legacy. He spoke about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, legacy has always been God’s eternal plan. He spoke to prophets like Jeremiah, Isaiah and Zechariah about a Messiah they would never see or hear with their natural eyes and ears. They spoke, but it did not manifest for many many years. Our words outlast us in ways we do not understand.

We were born into the construct of other people’s words. We must dismantle theologies that were spoken out of fear, were created with only their time in mind and were established on faulty foundations. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, He is a now God, now is the time we do not understand because of fear and ego. Is it any wonder Jesus said, we must deny ourselves in order to follow Him. We serve a now time God. Yes He was in the past, He is in the future, but that is because He is a now time God and now, today is the day of salvation. Contentment comes from living in the now, now is a construct of time, we must learn if we are going to fulfill the purposes of God in our generation. Now, now, now is where we live. We need to be mantled with NOW.
