Week 9-Cobb, Chapter 9 (Life Everlasting)

"What we do in life, echoes in eternity." This coined quote from the movie Gladiator, speaks volumes and brings us back to the reality of this life. We are people living here on Earth, in pursuit of love, a career, peace, wealth, paradise, or whatever one may be pursuing and through these pursuits we make decisions, hopefully decisions that are focused on Christ. So life is precious and valuable. How does one want to reflect back and celebrate when one passes away? As Cobb described, much of the Christian faith, and many religions, is based on alpha and omega myths. These myths or even thoughts are intentionally giving us visualizations and experiences in order to prepare us for death. So what are we doing with our lives? Are we merely just wasting away? Pursuing Christ? Pursuing individualistic desires? Community desires? Many of these questions one may ask as they live life and think about making changes if necessary.
