There are realities, then there are ultimate realities. Death is surely a reality. But from the viewpoint of the resurrection of Jesus, eternal life is the ultimate reality of those who believe. Suffering is a reality, but it cannot compare to the ultimate reality of the glory that will be ours in the eternal state. We can choose to live life in view of the ultimate, not just what is now and passing.
“This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.” 1Cor.2.16 Conversations Within ts 3/26/
