But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.
So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken."With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence.
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.
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. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:7-18

thank you for sharing this...really like the song
That video is powerful and so relevant to wwhat people are going through. It's nice to have that remider that our present life, our earthly life, is only temporary.
We are just passing through...
What a joyous day it will be when we are truly "home."
Indeed this time on earth is just part of our journey. One day we will all reach our destination. I do hope mine is heaven.
I think we all would rather spend eternity with Jesus than with Satan. I sure pray I am found worthy to be in his company.
Love this song....it is so true!
This place, this body...all of it is just temporary! We are aliens longing for our real home ~ ETERNITY
