“So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (v. 18)

It really is the one great spiritual fundamental. It is the thing you have always known, deep down inside, even before He called your name. It’s the inescapable reality behind all of our longings.

This life is not all there is.

There is more. Unseen. Yet assured.

You’ve known it forever. It’s why you have always counted pain and sickness and death as disordered. You have known forever that this is not the way it ought to be—and that there has to be a better, a more.

And you’re right:

This life is not all there is. There is a light that pierces this darkness, and it reminds us of the One who is our light, who will be our light forever. There is a hope that is older and purer and mightier than any seen thing. There is Christ, glory, and eternity.

Trust that in these difficult seeing days—because this life is not all there is.
