Fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen

2 Corinthians 4:1-18
For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.  
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.   
He is subjected to(受到了) every kind of human weakness, persecution and suffering. But the future, in all its glorious certainty, eclipses(蝕) any suffering the present can hold.
Why?
Jesus Christ is the light shine out of darkness. shine in out hearts to know the glory of the Lord.
What we can suffering is the Jesus Christ in my heart and my faith, so we can hold on.
The life of Jesus can revealed in out body, even y body is decaying. 
Paul encouraged us fix out eyes  not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
How?
Fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
