Market - our Temporal World

Scripture Passage: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

A market begins its day early and by evening everyone has gone home. A market is a temporal thing. In the same way we too are only temporal in this world. With time, our bodies grow old and fade away but our souls keep growing. Christians need not fear old age because our souls grow closer to God with the passing of time. Therefore let us not fix our eyes on the things of this world that will soon pass away. Instead, let us fix our hope on the things that God has prepared for us. Those things will last forever.

Questions:
1. How is this world like a market?
Because both are only temporary.
2. What must we fix our eyes on?
On eternal things.
3. Why should we concentrate on eternal things?
Because they will last forever.


Memory verse: John 14:2
There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. (NLT)
