When Eternity Meets the Clock
What if the most productive person who ever lived wasn't frantically checking email or hustling through eighteen-hour days? What if, instead, he moved through his work with such intentionality that he accomplished a world-changing mission in just three years-yet never seemed rushed? This paradox sits at the heart of a radically different approach to time management: one that begins not with hacks and apps, but with understanding time itself through the eyes of its Creator. We live in an age drowning in productivity advice, yet we're more anxious, distracted, and overwhelmed than ever. Perhaps we've been asking the wrong questions. Instead of "How can I do more?" we might ask, "How did Jesus redeem his time on earth?" Deep within us lives a restless longing-a sense that we were made for more time than we have. This isn't neurosis; it's design. We were created for eternity, and our desire to leave a mark on the world isn't vanity but a divine echo. Before sin entered the picture, work existed as worship, and humans were meant to be productive forever. Yet sin introduced death, transforming infinite time into finite days. Even the most accomplished among us will die with unfinished symphonies, dreams unrealized, goals unmet. This universal gap points to something profound: if we find within ourselves desires that this world cannot satisfy, perhaps we were made for another world entirely.
