Eternity Amnesiacs by Paul Tripp
What is an eternity amnesiac? It’s someone who has functionally forgotten the Forever life to come and tells themselves that this life on earth is all there is to life. As eternity amnesiacs, we make our lives much more difficult than they need to be.
1. Living with unrealistic expectations.
Because we are hardwired for Forever, we’ll long for a perfect paradise, and we’ll struggle with the reality that our current address—a fallen world—is anything but perfect. This longing and struggle are reasonable, but in our moments of eternity amnesia, we’ll become unreasonable in expecting the present world to be what it can never be.
2. Asking too much of people.
Just like a fallen earth cannot provide paradise, neither can broken people! No human being, whether your spouse, child, parent, or best friend, can give you inner peace and satisfaction that we can only ever experience in eternity. Asking too much of people only ends in disappointment, frustration, conflict, and division.
3. Questioning the goodness of God If we don't understand God's Forever agenda and his purpose for keeping us in a less-than-perfect people, we will end up questioning his character, goodness, love and control Unless we live with the constant remembrance that God’s promises only reach their complete fulfillment in the world that is to come, we will feel as if we have been hit with the cosmic bait and switch in the world we now live in. 4. Living more disappointed than thankful. Yes, we will suffer the pain of a fallen world, and broken people sin against us, but our disappointment often reveals more about our own eternity amnesia than it does about the world and humans around us. Many of us are primarily disappointed, not because God has failed us but because we approach life today hoping that it will deliver to us things that we can only experience in Forever. A Prayer for Today: Lord Jesus, I admit that a lot of my disappointment in life has more to do with my eternity amnesia than it does with my circumstances or the people around me. Help me to remember that there is a perfect world to come that I’ll never be disappointed in. Help me dwell on Forever instead of just the here and now. Thank you, God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
