We walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7)
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do…” Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus…
The Lord said to Ananias, “This man is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before Gentiles, kings, and Israelites, and I will show him what he will have to suffer for my name.” (Acts 9:3-8, 15-16)
“We hold this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; …struck down but not destroyed…
For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day…For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever. (2 Cor 4:7-9, 16-18)
// Reflection
1. Concretely, how is Jesus inviting me to walk by faith and not by sight?
