The Time is Short is based on 1 Corinthians 7:29. In this sermon, C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the use of the article ‘the.’ Time is not just short, which is true enough in its totality. Yes, we are told that time is as a vapor! Fleeting! No, no… ‘the’ time is short. Our time is short. The time allotted to each and every event of our life is short, from the date of our birth, our childhood, marriage, career…. retirement. Each and every stage in life is taken on a short ride. Often those rides are difficult, uncomfortable. Some are most pleasing. Regardless, the length ‘the time is short,’ and if live each to the glory of God, we will look back with praise and glory.
