The fastest human-made object, the Cassini spacecraft, travels at 25 miles per second. Of course light travels at 186,000 miles per second. So even if we found a way to up the speed of some human object to go 8 times faster than today it would still take 4,000 years to get to the closest star. All of which serves as a reminder that time is a great limiter for human beings. Things that happened to us in the past still impact us. Things that are in our future, yes, death itself, define us. But Jesus in claiming proximity to Abraham demonstrates that God is not limited by time. In our own prayer we must learn to live in the “present tense” of God, living each day in grace.
