Introduction
Today, I will speak on a topic titled A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, a rather grand subject. I have a habit of watching animal documentaries on platforms like Douyin. My colleagues often chuckle at my interest in this, questioning why I enjoy it. The reason is that while watching, I am frequently reminded that I am not a beast but a human being. How can a person live like an animal? Watching the animal world is quite fascinating; two male lions fight to the death for the right to mate with a female. Similarly, I saw two male elephants fighting relentlessly for three to four days, also for mating rights. It strikes me that animals often fight to the death for a piece of bone or meat.
Some couples engage in violent altercations over trivial matters. Observing people, I find that many live in a manner not much different from beasts, a truly tragic state. Even in my youth, I lamented how people could live like animals, questioning whether there might be a better way to live. All this fighting and squabbling seems so pathetic. Besides watching animal documentaries, I also have a penchant for attending funerals, looking at the deceased's face in the coffin. It is a sobering experience because sometimes, in moments of confusion, one forgets that life should not be lived like an animal.
Some time ago, I ministered to a cancer patient who left a deep impression on me. The patient was barely breathing, and after several hours of prayer, he finally spoke, uttering, Thirty million; eight hundred million. I was puzzled by his words. He then lay down and fell asleep. The next morning, his family sent a photo, and I was unsure whether he was alive or dead. I had his family check his pulse, and it turned out he had passed away. It made me wonder why he was talking about tens of millions when he had only hours left to live.
Just a few days ago, I experienced another farewell to life, also while ministering to someone who passed away. Experiencing these repeated encounters with life and death, I am reminded that over the years, I have attended many Christian funerals, which have deeply impressed upon me that no matter how I live, there will come a day when the things I agonize over in this world will become meaningless. Whether it is thirty million or eight hundred million, they will all be meaningless in the end.
Why do I live so freely, comfortably, and enjoyably? It is because I have seen through both life and death. One day, I received a phone call from someone weeping because a family member had died. I questioned why they were crying. Many might think that one should naturally weep when a family member dies, but when one has seen through life and death, the words one speaks are different. I hope that the brothers and sisters listening to this sermon can also see through life and death. When we see through these things, we will no longer live like beasts and will yearn to know if there truly is eternal life for humanity. The path of faith has profoundly enlightened me, making me understand that it is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is of no value. Do I know this now? I certainly do, and I am sharing it with you in this sermon.
In my previous sermons, I was slightly concerned whether everyone would understand what I was saying. To my surprise, everyone enjoyed listening. In the previous weeks, I spoke on Bearing in my body the marks of Jesus and We have this treasure in earthen vessels. The content I share is the result of my own seeking. Today, I will deliver a sermon titled A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, based on my research over the past week.
To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. (Romans 2:7-8)
I believe you are all intelligent people. If you want to live well in this world, remember never to be at odds with God, and always seek glory, honour, and immortality. Today’s topic, A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, is meant to encourage you to start learning to seek these things. Recently, I ministered to some narrow-minded brothers and sisters, some of whom have been believers and even leaders for many years. Yet, they are so petty that they get upset over a single comment or feel hurt if they are not informed about something. What they lack is a heart that seeks a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. When the heart is not focused on important matters, trivialities become major issues, like old women in the streets who have no grand pursuits and turn small things into significant problems.
Without a sense of eternity, the affairs of this life become all-important. If one treats the affairs of this life as paramount, isn't that courting death? How can one avoid suffering? Without focusing on what truly matters, one easily gets hurt by trivialities. Today, I want to enlighten your understanding. Ignorance is not an option; the ignorant will inevitably suffer. If you are focused solely on earthly matters, your heart will be narrow. How can God be with you if you are narrow-minded? Being calculative and easily hurt are not traits of God's image.
Recently, I made a summary, as I enjoy researching, summarizing, and organizing my thoughts in ministry. I have found that cancer patients often share a common trait: they appear to be good people on the surface but suppress their frustrations. Some pastors are even worse, feeling ashamed to reveal their true feelings, hiding behind grandiose words while secretly suffering from pettiness. They pretend to be good people, deeply concerned but unable to express their feelings, which can lead to cancer.
Examine yourself to see if you fit this description. Perhaps what I am saying is not entirely accurate, but you can observe. If you have cancer patients in your family, observe them and tell me if this is the case. If you observe this and want to avoid getting cancer, I will tell you how: do not be such a person. Pastors who behave this way, trying to maintain a façade while harboring garbage inside, are prone to cancer.
I have noticed that people who are outspoken and do not suppress their feelings fare better. Recently, I have been observing some people in my ministry and thinking, This person seems to exhibit the behavioral patterns of a cancer patient. But I dare not speak carelessly because they are narrow-minded. Today, we must expand our horizons, enlarge our perspectives, become magnanimous individuals, and start pursuing a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Someone might ask, Is this really possible? Yes, it is, and I have proven it to be true; otherwise, I would not be speaking about it this way.
Scripture
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 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 4:17-18)
Prayer
God, we invite you into our hearts to expand our horizons. Lord, elevate our spiritual height so that we can see through everything. Today, we yearn to receive a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Lord Jesus, when we come before you one day, may we receive a glorious crown from you. Help us today, be with us, act according to your will, thoroughly refine us, deal with us, put to death the evil deeds of the flesh in us, so that we may increasingly bear your image, until one day we receive that far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Allow us to walk with you during our days on this earth, to be a blessing to this generation, to be vessels through which you bless this generation. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
As the beast lives, so does man; as the beast dies, so does man.
These are not my words; they are from The Book of Ecclesiastes. The Book of Ecclesiastes is well said; if you are often depressed, you should read this book. The Book of Ecclesiastes begins by speaking of vanity, vanity, all is vanity.
I also thought, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the animal’s spirit sinks down into the earth?” (Ecclesiastes 3:18-21)
The Book of Ecclesiastes speaks well, and I truly encourage you to be a wise person. If you do not know this, you must know today that you must be a wise person and not an ignorant person. Over ten percent of my primary school classmates who have fallen behind and passed away are gone, and I do not even know when they died. I calculated that more than five out of fifty people have died. The things they were so concerned about and cared about before they died have all become bubbles. What about the other classmates who are still alive? Many are still very concerned and care about these things in life. Not only is it like that among them, but it is the same among us. Those who have problems like this have all become bubbles. Yesterday, another one of my classmates passed away from cancer in my class group. I am curious why people do not observe this? Every time I encounter this, I am filled with emotions. Another large group of people will not be able to get through the new year and have fallen behind. If you browse Douyin, you will know that many will not be able to get through the new year, and some are even celebrities.
People do not think that living is vanity of vanities, and they see things as very real. No matter how real you think some things are, when that day comes, all you will get in the end is an urn. I think it is strange for people to care about many things. For example, when people work on a project or hold a tender, they can put in enough effort to the point of no return. There was a former Huawei executive who recently lost his job. I see that he is living much better than before. In the past, he was working desperately on bidding work, working until after 12 midnight. He would not get home until 2 a.m. and had to rush out the door every morning. I had no way to persuade him before, but now I do not need to persuade him. He has understood it himself.
If people see all of this as very real, you cannot pursue an exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Some people will say, Then will you do my work for me? Will you write my tender for me? Will you solve the problems in my work for me? I tell you that it does not matter. Can our God not solve these problems? So we need to wake up. I suggest that you should read The Book of Ecclesiastes more often. Solomon also did what you did and was anxious every day, busy building palaces, and later discovered that all of these were vanity of vanities.
There are times when I am like a beast. Sometimes when I see my coworkers plastering the wall with what looks like a pockmarked wall, I become anxious. Later I thought, just plaster it. If it is a pockmarked wall, then so be it. I cannot be like a beast; I must be like God. So we must all make a good choice. Do you choose to be like God or like a beast? This is very interesting, and you must see through it. As far as I am concerned, when people die, you do not need to comfort me; I do not need human comfort. All things that cannot kill people are small things, and things that do not kill people are big things. All things that can kill people are nothing, because when people die, nothing matters, and when people die, nothing remains.
For example, the people I minister to, I am also quite worried because they have no ability to make a living and are now dead. I was thinking about how I could train them to make a living if they came back to life. So when people continue to live, things become big. When people die, things become small and disappear. I am not saying this to be sarcastic. You must see through it. After you see through it, many things are not things.
Once, I went to a city to meet an entrepreneur to learn how he managed his business. I asked him a question: Do your employees have any pressure? He said, No. I said, Can I ask you one more question? If the project is not completed, what will you do? Will you not let them continue to work overtime? He answered me this way: No, we have no pressure. If the project is not completed, the sky will not fall. These words left me speechless. Does the sky fall if we lose money? The sky does not fall even if we lose money. Later, he said that his business management is very respectful of people. He would not treat people as slaves.
As a result, his business is doing well. If you treat people as cows and horses, you can do the same. If the business treats people as people, you can do the same. He then asked me a question back, and I thought this question was very good. He said, If I give you ten million a year, and I let you kneel in our unit to work, like Qin Hui kneeling in front of Yue Fei, would you do it or not? I said I would not do it, because people are very noble.
So you and I are very noble. How can we be like the beasts in the animal world? I also encourage you to often watch the animal world like I do, and often reflect on whether you are living like a beast. I also often encourage you to attend funerals and see what the people lying in the coffin once cared about, and whether that is also what you care about now.
Recently, I have been watching the elections in Taiwan, and it seems like the animal world. I watch the politicians' performances like watching a circus, which is very lively. I think this is very boring. If you have a pen in your hand, I suggest you write in your notebook: What are you doing? It is just that you do not know what you are doing, and you think you are doing it very seriously. In fact, I have seen through many things. These days of seeing through things have not been one or two days. I have seen through many things. Why would I do anything against the government? I do not oppose any government behavior, and I do not have any obvious political stance, because I have seen through it. I just want to live happily, to bless someone if I can, and to solve someone's problem if I can.
At that time, I was working in Beijing during the June 4th incident, but my resume is very clean throughout my life. I never participated in those things. At that time, I saw through many things. What is the point of tossing and turning? At that time, I began to seek how people should live and how people can live well. There are many things that I do not quite agree with, and people think that I am being bought by someone, because I have seen through the matter of living, which is meaningless. The people I train, no matter which country they are in, must be social stability factors and social assets. I do not have a political stance, but I am very clear about how the Bible is written, that the authority of the government comes from God. We must know that we Chinese people regard the emperor as the Son of Heaven, which is not very outrageous, because earthly authority comes from God. When Christians start to protest, it is not the teaching of the Bible.
Many Christians like to participate in politics, of course, this is also their freedom, but the Bible does not teach these things. The Bible teaches people not to be overly righteous. I admire imitating Jesus and imitating the Apostle Paul. Where in the Bible do you see Jesus holding up signs and protesting? Our Lord Jesus did not do this. Lord Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, would I not ask my heavenly Father to send more than twelve legions of angels to do what is easy? Even when persecuted, he never opposed the government, and Lord Jesus was like this, as was the Apostle Paul.
But today's Christians have a characteristic: they do not do what Jesus did. For example, when people are seriously ill and pray for healing, they can become social assets and create value for society, and they consume fewer medical resources. But they do many things that Jesus did not do. Jesus did not protest, but people like to do these things. I am not talking about all Christians, but there really are some. What is our destiny? Our destiny is to build a glorious church so that we can be a blessing to this generation. Wherever we are, we are good citizens. What we pursue is an exceedingly great and eternal glory. What does it matter if we suffer a little grievance or a little fatigue?
Is There Really an Exceedingly Great and Eternal Glory?
How did the Lord Jesus prove it? The Lord Jesus attended a wedding feast, and the wine ran out. The Lord Jesus instructed them to fill three large jars with water, and what was drawn out was all very delicious wine. The scripture says that this was to reveal His glory. The Lord Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish. Let us imagine if an army had the Lord Jesus, would they still need logistics? So, this is how God's glory is revealed! What God does is a miracle.
《Matthew》、《Mark》、《Luke》、《John》, all speak of miracles. Let us imagine how wonderful it would be to be like the Lord Jesus! A Pharisee, with his own logical system, came to see Jesus. The scripture writes:
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (《John》3:1-3)
Nicodemus was seeking the kingdom of God. Jesus used miracles to prove it. In that era, some people asked if the Christ, when He came, would perform more miracles than Jesus. So, how did Jesus prove Himself? Through signs and wonders. We must understand, do not think that if a wizard can perform miracles, others cannot. This is how Jesus proved it. How did the apostles prove it? The scripture says:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. (《Acts》2:22)
Jesus used powers, miracles, and wonders to prove it. What do we use to prove it? We cannot prove it by interpreting scripture with scripture. We must return to the 《Bible》. We in Chinese Mingding Destiny greatly honor the 《Bible》.
The scripture also says:
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. (《Acts》14:3)
Is there really an exceedingly great and eternal glory? Yes, there is! How do we prove it? This is how we prove it.
The scripture also writes:
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? (《Hebrews》2:4)
Can we prove it simply by talking about it? No, we cannot. Last week, I spoke on 《2 Corinthians》12:12, Paul said:
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. (《2 Corinthians》12:12)
Why are there so many signs and wonders among us? Because we are in accordance with the 《Bible》. On Friday, I spoke about the theoretical foundation of the Global Online Healing and Deliverance Conference. After listening, everyone realized this is the case. Other denominations believe that signs and wonders have ceased. How can they prove anything if signs and wonders have ceased? I once wrote a book that sold very well, called 《The Spiritual Realm is Real》, which is also shared on YouTube.
There is an American brother with a Ph.D., who grew up in a mountain village. His only way out was to get into university and study all the way to a Ph.D. In that era, it was very difficult. In his local church, they used the method of interpreting scripture with scripture, such as what the Hebrew says, what the Greek says, but they did not talk about the spiritual realm being real. From a young age, he saw many stories about the spiritual realm in his village, and he himself was deeply disturbed by these spiritual realms. Later, he found us online and said that there are still people among the Chinese who preach so well. In fact, I often solve many problems related to the spiritual realm. I am a highly educated person, and I would not do anything that is not real. What is the use of something that cannot solve problems!
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (《Acts》1:9-11)
After Jesus resurrected, when He gathered with His five hundred disciples, He ascended into heaven on a cloud. If you and I had seen the Lord Jesus resurrected from the dead at that time, and seen the Lord Jesus ascend into heaven on a cloud, what would you do? Today, everyone needs to have a clear understanding of the spiritual realm. It is true that Jesus died on the cross. How could He be resurrected from the dead? Because the spiritual realm is real, it is the Spirit that gives life!
Once, my mother's mouth was crooked, her eyes were slanted, her eyes rolled back, she drooled, and she looked like she was about to suffocate. But that thing could not deceive me. I knew that evil spirit lived there. I grabbed her body and prayed. In that state, she could still grab me tightly with both hands and push my hands away with great force. I was very puzzled at the time. How could a person who was about to suffocate have so much strength? There are too many things that people cannot explain. Why? Because they have not grasped the essence of things! In fact, behind my mother was an evil spirit called Old Ma.
Later, I drove Old Ma away, and my mother's spirit returned. She had no idea how I had pinched her. After she came back, she told me that she had been taken by Old Ma to a cave. The water in the cave was knee-deep and freezing cold. I asked her how she came back. She said that the evil spirit pushed her out and she came back! Such things are also recorded in the 《Bible》:
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. (《Luke》8:51-55)
So, today we must all know that such things are real. The exceedingly great and eternal glory is real, because the spiritual realm is real, and God is real. Our Lord Jesus became flesh and came among us, full of grace and truth, and we have seen His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father! So today we must know one thing, we must do what the Lord Jesus did, to prove to people that this gospel truth is real!
Doing what the Lord Jesus did is to prove the Word we preach. This is the Lord Jesus' command. Do not believe in certain denominations. Can they do it? Can they solve problems by interpreting scripture with scripture? What they do is not even as good as a wizard. What can that prove? Not only can it not prove anything, but it proves that we, who rely on the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to resurrect from the dead and use signs and wonders to confirm the preached Word, are heretics. Is this not very strange?
So, what do you think when you see what God is doing among us? If you see God confirming the Word we preach with signs and wonders among us, will you continue to care about the things that should not be cared about? Will you pursue this exceedingly great and eternal glory? Today, God is restoring His biblical truth through us. God is restoring His presence. God is also restoring His powerful gospel. Only God's power can prove the Word we preach!
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (《1 Corinthians》2:4-5)
How did the Lord Jesus prove it, how did the Apostle Paul prove it, and how do we prove it. The things God has done through us today have already proven it! If the spiritual realm is real, through God's power to resurrect from the dead, and we carry the mark of Jesus Christ on our bodies, we must constantly manifest God's glory in this world.
All Afflictions Become Light and Momentary
If a person pursues God's exceedingly great and eternal glory, he will feel extremely comfortable in his heart. If a person does not have big things in his heart, small things will become big things. If a person does not have exceedingly great and eternal glory in his heart, many things cannot be handled. Because we have God's exceedingly great and eternal glory, many problems will be solved easily! Even if we suffer some grievances or afflictions, they are only light and momentary! If we have exceedingly great and eternal glory in our hearts, everything becomes small.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (《2 Corinthians》4:17)
Today, if you want to enjoy everything, trample on all the devil's enemies, and regard all afflictions as light and momentary, you only have one choice, which is to start pursuing this exceedingly great and eternal glory!
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (《2 Corinthians》4:7)
It is because we believe that God manifests His great power through us, these earthen vessels!
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (《2 Corinthians》4:8-10)
If we are people who pursue God's exceedingly great and eternal glory, you will despise all the shame and suffering in this world, and then become those whom the world is not worthy of. Can you live a bad life like this? Living is just a feeling. If you do not have exceedingly great and eternal glory inside, even a small thing will produce deep and far-reaching pain. The root of human pain is the lack of hope in eternity. Do you know why I serve so diligently? Because I know that one day I will return to Jesus Christ to give an account, and one day I will receive a crown of glory from God. Although I have not walked the path that the Apostle Paul walked so difficultly, I have actually paid a heavy price. I have been able to walk through it all because of this hope of exceedingly great and eternal glory.
Years ago, there was a prophet named Coen Thunnissen. I happened to meet him in a crowd. He walked over, laid hands on me, and said, You will walk through a very dark valley, but in the end, you will see the glory of God! At that time, the faith inside me was almost dying, but I was very touched! Because of what this prophet Coen Thunnissen told me, I still have a recording of him to this day. Because he told me, In the end, you will see the glory of God. I said, God, I believe in you. In that situation, I served diligently. Today, I tell you that the God I serve diligently will prepare a crown of glory for me. This is what I long for.
People need dreams very much. It is such dreams that support me to this day. People need dreams, but not worldly dreams, but a glorious dream, which is the exceedingly great and eternal glory. I am sure that God will wipe away my tears, and God will surely remember the price I have paid. Every time I see people I serve released from the bondage of the devil, I am so happy that I cry. When I see brothers and sisters being controlled by the devil, I say, God, may you raise up more people like you among us to manifest your glory and power! I am willing to pay all the price for you to run your glorious road.
God, may me and my brothers and sisters come before you together, and one day hand in a beautiful report card. When you come again, we will be in your glory. What a wonderful hope this is. The day when the Lord Jesus comes again is near. We must walk the narrow road and enter the narrow gate. Take up our crosses, finish the road of our service, and we will see the glorious light of the Lord! The glorious Lord Jesus will welcome us with joy, and He will give us this crown of glory. All the light and momentary afflictions in this world are not worth mentioning.
Lord, raise us up in this generation to run your road, let your glory fill the whole earth; God, manifest your glory through us, so that your glory fills the whole earth; God, we long for the day of your manifestation, we long for your return, we long for you, the glorious King, to come to this world again, wipe away our tears, and become a great comfort in our hearts; today, all the labor in this world is nothing; God, may we enjoy your glory in eternity, forever; God, you are the glorious King, raise us up to be your glorious light, illuminate this dark generation, Amen!
Not Looking at the Things Which Are Seen, but at the Things Which Are Not Seen
A brother with depression came among us, often hallucinating and hearing strange things. When I was leading prayers, he often typed, asking me to pray for his problems. I often prayed with him, and recently I have seen him typing less often. I asked his pastor, why have I seen him typing less often? Later, his pastor told me that he has gotten much better. Do you know why people get those diseases? Because they care too much about what they can see and care too much about meaningless things. Today we must know that what we see is temporary, and one day these things will become void.
Those who are sick and living in curses, I will give you a wonderful prescription, which is to pursue exceedingly great and eternal glory, to be raised up by God, and to become a vessel to manifest God's glory in this generation, and to start pursuing this exceedingly great and eternal glory. The light and momentary afflictions in this world are not worth mentioning, because this world and the things in it will pass away, and only what is eternal will last forever. Brothers and sisters, today we will start looking at the things that are not seen, because the things that are not seen are eternal.
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. (《2 Corinthians》5:1-4)
Everyone must know for sure that we live in this life, and what we care about are all things of this life, so we live so painfully, and we do not even know that we are in a curse. Today, if we are truly willing to take off this fleshly life and start putting on this eternal life, you will gain eternal life.
In the kingdom of God, in the glory of God, there is no sickness or poverty, and everything in the glory of God is good. May God motivate us through the love of Jesus Christ, so that we can be bold and fearless, and so that we will no longer fear death. If God lets us leave, we will also face it with boldness and fearlessness. We must care about the exceedingly great and eternal glory in this world, so that signs and wonders and the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead can all be manifested in us.
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (《2 Corinthians》5:9-10)
If we only please God in this world, strive to pursue this exceedingly great and eternal glory, and care about what is not seen, this life will be so glorious and wonderful, and our life will be full of glorious and wonderful stories.
Conclusion
In my heart, I have a dream, which is to dream that one day, I will come to the Lord's presence. Although I constantly endure all kinds of hardships in this world, the exceedingly great and eternal glory I have hoped for in my heart has finally come. Because of this hope, I also encourage brothers and sisters to be raised up and serve this generation with me, and to take on this destiny. No matter how difficult and challenging the road ahead is, let the power of Jesus Christ's resurrection cover us, and become a blessing to this generation, Amen!
May God bless everyone!
