The French sculptor Rodin was commissioned by The Catholic Church in the late 19th century to complete a statue of a man in contemplation. The focus of “The Thinker’s” attention was to be on the gates of a cathedral which were inscribed with visions of hell and torment. “The Thinker” is a reminder of eternal life—where will we spend the next life and how will we spend our time in this life.
The question before every person is “How should the eternal impact how we live now?”
The movie The Emperor’s Club ponders just that question. Kevin Kline plays Mr. Hundert, a high school teacher in a boy’s school. He has given his life to building the character of young men.
Mr. Hundert struggled with one young man more than others. Years after discovering that one of his former students had again cheated on an examination—this time as an adult—the teacher, Mr. Hundert, confronts him.
After Mr. Hundert has his say, the student responds, “Who cares about your principles and virtues? People do what they need to do to get what they want. I’ll worry about what I leave behind later.”
At that moment, from one of the bathroom stalls, emerges the former student’s young son, who heard everything. The looks on all the faces make the point without saying it: the family legacy had just been built.
Jesus tells a similar story about a rich man who built barns to store physical wealth, without regard for his eternal welfare.
The question must be asked again: “How should the eternal impact how we live now?”
The Thinker stature should make us pause, consider, ponder, and prepare.
After this life, is eternal life.
The question for The Thinker is the same question for every person, “Am I ready?”
For Truth in Two, this is Dr. Mark Eckel, President of the Comenius Institute, personally seeking Truth wherever it’s found.
