Paul says,
“We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor. 4:18)
“We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary,
Temporary - pros-kee-ross
Fleeting, non important for the task,
WHEN I WAS 22 YEARS OLD SHOPPING FOR A CAR. MARRIED 3 YEARS, BUT NEVER BOUGHT MY OWN CAR.
… I was looking at sound systems
… I was looking at paint color
… I was looking at rims and stance
MY DAD WAS LOOKING AT
… mileage
… monthly payment
… accident history
… gas economy
… the dealers reputation….
I WAS LOOKING AT THE FLEETING.
If eternity is real—and the Bible says it is—then living only for the moment- THE FLEETING is the most dangerous way to live.
1 Eternity Is More Real
Than the Moment
**Scripture:** 2 Corinthians 4:18
Paul doesn’t say the visible world isn’t real—he says it’s **temporary**.
Temporary doesn’t mean unimportant. It means *not ultimate*… NOT THE PURPOSE
Going on a cruise in 2 weeks… my wife “what are you going to pack”.
My wife packs for a month if we stay 3 days in a hotel…
Illustration: The Hotel Room
You treat a hotel room differently than your house.
You don’t remodel it.
You don’t get a bigger TV for it
You don’t hang family portraits.
You don’t panic if something breaks.
Why?
Because you know **you’re not staying long**.
Many of us are rearranging furniture in a world we were never meant to settle in.
