Glory Beyond All Measure

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

“16 So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. 17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, 18 because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.”

Christians, despite our faith, are still affected by the material world.  We grow old, we catch viruses, we suffer hardships and sadness.  We grieve and we cry.  Our faith does not protect us against these things.  

But, because we believe, the Holy Spirit of God is with us in our affliction.  The Holy Spirit comforts us when we pray, and gives us the promise of the eternal life ahead.

We may live in the material world, but our hope is in the things we cannot see; the eternal, everlasting glory beyond all measure.

 May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
