Living Jesus is Greater: Eyes on Eternity - Audio

Our world feels like it’s spinning out of control. In just the last month, we’ve watched headlines filled with tragedy: school shootings, a woman stabbed to death on public transportation in Charlotte, and even the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. The last two were so public that videos spread across the internet for the world to see. No matter where you stood on Charlie Kirk’s politics, one thing was undeniable: he was open about his faith in Jesus and unashamed to defend his beliefs. And yet here we are — watching more violence, more chaos, more confusion. I wish I could stand here today and explain exactly what God is doing in all of this, but I can’t. What I can tell you is this: God is still good. He is still in control. And He is working all things — even the things we don’t understand — for His glory. But that raises a hard question: How do we keep moving forward without losing heart in a world like this? How do we not give in to fear, despair, or bitterness? That’s where today’s text helps us. Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5 that the way we endure is by fixing our eyes on eternity. This world is temporary. Our bodies are temporary. But our hope is eternal, our home is eternal, and our mission is eternal.
