Last time I mentioned that exists outside of time. When I was a Children’s Pastor, I tried to help kids understand this by using the analogy of a parade. When we watch a parade, it comes by us as a sequence of floats and bands and performances. When we’re sitting on that curb, we see what’s in front of us. We can remember what’s already gone by us, but that’s the past. We can start to hear what is still coming toward us, but that’s the future. That’s still to come. In this analogy, God would be up above, and he would see the whole parade at one time. Everything that we experience as our past, present, and future, God experiences all at once. Everything is in the present for God because he’s not bound by time.
