Name

The world is desperately trying to create a name. A name that would last long, even after your death, you would want people to remember you - As a man of may be knowledge, success, fame, wealth, innovation, ideas or talents. And definitely men would want their legacy to continue through their children. Not just men, women too.

For what? If you look deep down, how absurd to be wanting to be known even after you are dead and gone. How does it even matter? Would a person be sitting in heaven (or hell) and following up what is happening to the name you created?

During his lifetime, Absalom had built a monument to himself in the King's valley, for he said, "I have no son to carry on my name." He named the monument after himself and it is known as Absalom's monument to this day. 2Sam:18:18.

But he is still known as the son who rebelled against his father and died a fool's death, not for the monument.

All you do for your own name's sake is futile and temporary. Only that lasts is what you do for the everlasting name of Jesus, because His name is above all names. Phil:2:9
