2 Corinthians 4:17
"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"
All through life a mans body and strength begins to fade away. But through life a mans soul continues to grow. The sufferings that leave our body's weak may well be the very thing that gives strength to the fibrous tissue of our soul. From the physical point of view life is a slow but down hill slid that leads to death. But from the spiritual point of view life is climbing up the hill that leads to the presence of God. We should not fear the years ahead, for they bring us nearer, not to death, but to God. Paul was convinced that anything he had to suffer in this world would be as nothing compared with the glory he would enjoy in the next, and so should we. Earth's suffering is forgotten in the glory of heaven.
It is a notable fact that Jesus never foretold his death without foretelling his Resurrection. He who suffers for Christ will share his glory. For that very reason, a man's eyes must not be fixed, on the things that are seen, but on the things that are unseen. The things that are seen, the things of this world, have their day and cease to be; the things that are unseen, the things of heaven, last forever.
Amen!
