There is a compelling line in the movie Gladiator which goes something like this, “brothers what we do in life echoes in eternity”. In other words what we do affects history. Jesus said it this way, “when you have done something to the least of these you have done it unto me” (paraphrase). I believe humanity is impacted and heaven records what we do!
