Jesus Presents before Us an Eternal Inheritance, Immortal Riches ㅡ

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18).

The things which are earthly and temporal lead men away from God, although the advantages to be gained are but an atom in comparison with eternal realities ∙∙∙ .

Turning away from heavenly attractions, from imperishable wealth, from peace, from nobility of soul, man pours out his affections on unworthy, unsatisfying things; and by constantly beholding this world, he becomes conformed to it.

His mind, capable of elevation and privileged to grasp the eternal blessedness of the saints, turns away from an eternity of greatness and allows its powers to be chained like a slave to an atom of a world.

It is humiliated and dwarfed by allegiance to worldly things.

Jesus came to change this order of things, to correct this widespread evil.

He lifts up His voice as the voice of God in warnings, reproofs, and entreaties, seeking to break the spell which infatuates, enslaves, and ensnares men.

He ∙∙∙ says, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26).

Jesus, the world’s Redeemer, presents before us the eternal inheritance, the immortal riches.
