The Light of Eternity

“The things that are seen (are) for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.”
— 2 Cor. 4:18 (New Translation).

“Lot saw a well-watered plain and a city, and then dwelt in it on the earth, and consequently was in the midst of judgment; while Abraham sought a city out of sight, and he enjoyed the blessing and comfort of God being with him, go where he might.”

“Oh, the blessedness! when after all troubles and conflicts are over we shall "awake in his likeness." Believers, is there nothing in this to quicken your joy in meeting Jesus. Is there nothing in this to throw contempt upon the world and its unmeaning joys?”
