2Cor.4:18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Things that are seen are the earthly things, men, money, pleasures etc., these things are perishing! You will not take any with you when you leave this place called earth. Things not seen are God, grace, unseen spirit and heaven, etc., these are the things that God reveals to man. What we are longing for is God! To see Jesus is what we strive for! To go home is what we are waiting for. While we wait, our God given faith is guiding us to follow Christ and to teach others of the hope we have found in Christ. All men will die! None can come back to this life once they taste death and are in their eternal home!
Luke 16:26-31
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house-
28 for I have five brothers-so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'
30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'
Lord God most high, show mercy to us sinners for we have nothing to offer You. We are so not worthy but we beg for mercy from a just God who forgives! Amen
