All right, so Welcome this is a time of our spiritual transition game

00:06

This is a game where what we do is those who watch the striving for eternity Academy live

00:11

Those that are in the chat get to give me something that they think that I just cannot possibly in any way shape or form

00:20

Transition to the gospel so I take whatever is given in the chat They hit the record button up there and I have to do a quick transition from whatever

00:29

I'm given to the gospel This game is played so we can practice

00:34

Transitioning from the natural to the spiritual the advantage of doing it is that we can get into any type of gospel

00:43

Conversation anytime we want the more we play this game the better We're equipped we are to quickly transition from the natural to the spiritual

00:53

Today's topic is a mason jar. I'm not sure. I know what that is either

00:59

But a canning jar. Okay. Well, I know what canning is so So with that so as we think about canning people that that you know are familiar with canning

01:12

I'm sure they're more familiar with what a mason jar is than I am. I Just consider going to the grocery store like a effort but actually canning foods, but I do like gardening

01:23

I will admit that but the the thing is is that when you actually do a lot of gardening as I did this summer

01:29

The dilemma I had is I had more tomatoes than I could possibly eat

01:34

And everything I had was basically tomato soup. I had made tomato paste

01:41

I would just sit there and snack on the cherry tomatoes tomato in the salad tomato and basically everything why because well basically, they don't last that long and the thing that would be helpful if I had a clue how to do any canning would be if I had some canning jars mason jars,

02:00

I guess is what they're called and but I know that they do have jars where you can Pickle things and and store things for a long -term

02:09

Use to basically hold things and it's a very interesting thing when you think about that What you're doing is you're taking the fruits of your labor of if you're doing gardening that is and you're taking the fruits that labor

02:21

And you're trying to hold it over for a longer period of time So it'll last for the whole year

02:27

Reminds me of something that I remember reading it speaks about ants and how ants will

02:32

Use the entire summer to plan For the winter and they store things up and they do that because they were created to do that Unlike the slugs that were lazy is the example that I would read about is where they don't plan ahead

02:49

The where I read this was in the Bible It talks about the fact that we should not be lazy like a slugger

02:57

But we should go to the ants and plan ahead You know the most important thing for us to plan ahead because most of us plan we plan for for going to school

03:07

We plan for careers. We plan for marriage. We plan for having kids plan for retirement But we don't plan what's gonna happen a second after we die and all that planning

03:17

We had all through life without planning on what we're gonna where we're gonna be a second after we die becomes meaningless

03:24

We should plan for where we'll spend eternity The reality is is that though many people think they can't know there is a way to know

03:32

Every one of us knows that God exists and every one of us because God's given us a conscience

03:37

So we know right from wrong. We know that when we lie and we steal we we break God's commandments that we're guilty and in that We end up Realizing that we're need to get right with God before we die

03:51

And so the way to get right with God is to trust what he did on the cross 2 ,000 years ago when he came to Earth as a man died in our place so we might be forgiven

04:02

You may plan for what you're gonna do with your your vegetables to make them last the year

04:09

But my challenge to you is to make sure you plan for where you'd spend Eternity and get right with God today

04:16

Repent that means to turn from trusting yourself and your good works turn and trust Jesus Christ today

04:23

That's how I would attempt to transition from a mason jar, which I wasn't sure what that was but a canning jar
