Doing Well in the Fire ‒ Part 5 ‒ Eternal Perspective
This teaching looks at the fourth critical component of a good response to suffering: eternal perspective.
Malcolm Webber
The lie says, "What just happened is huge. It is the end of the world. Things are hopeless!" But the truth says, "What just happened is bad but, in reality, it's only a small thing. It's not the end of the world. And, from the perspective of eternity, it's nothing!"
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Cor. 4:16-17)
