Compared to Eternity
Mark 10:17-31
Illustration

Just suppose that my wife and I took a two-week vacation in beautiful Destin, Florida. And, suppose that after only one day there, we liked it so much that we transferred our bank account down' there, sold our home here and purchased one there, and registered to vote in Florida. You would say, "Bill, that is dumb. You're coming home in two weeks. It makes no sense to act as though you'll be in Florida for years. Two weeks compared to a lifetime is even longer than eighty years on earth compared to eternity. Therefore, it is dumb to tie up most of our assets on earth when we're going to leave so soon.
