Über diesen Titel

 When life's struggles feel overwhelming, what perspective can transform our pain into purpose? Professor Bill Coleman offers a profound answer through his concept of "eternity lenses" - a way of viewing our temporal challenges through the filter of eternal reality.

Coleman begins with a deeply personal story of being uprooted at sixteen when his father took a new job in Florida. Despite understanding it was God's leading, the teenage Coleman found himself weeping during the entire drive south, feeling that God hadn't considered how this move would impact him personally. This relatable experience sets the stage for a transformative message about perspective.

Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Coleman explains that God has placed "the seeds of eternity" in every human heart while simultaneously placing us in a temporal world with real difficulties. This tension creates our need for eternity lenses - prescription glasses that allow us to see what's happening around us through the lens of what lasts forever.

The heart of Coleman's message explores four powerful contrasts: while our physical bodies are wasting away, our inner selves can be renewed daily; our "light and momentary afflictions" are preparing us for "an eternal weight of glory"; we must fix our eyes not on what is seen but on what is unseen; and the things that are seen are temporary while unseen things are eternal.

Perhaps most compelling is Coleman's application of these principles to relational conflicts. When someone mistreats us, eternity lenses help us recognize that no one who's at peace with God and themselves treats others poorly. This transforms our response from retaliation to compassion, seeing their behavior as revealing their need for Christ rather than justifying our anger.

Ready to transform your perspective on life's challenges? Listen as Professor Coleman shares how viewing your circumstances through eternity lenses can infuse even your most difficult moments with meaning, purpose, and hope that transcends temporary struggles.https://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Lens-Living-Eternal-Perspective/dp/1662827121/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XVVBGJ16I651&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rZ_pfodzF8lwB8_gSz5KkyZ0xEz4j6kY8A2MPM7Ov229am7JAwwAvxXgmGOxqFea5KyFMHgzk34ydltolxEaSlwDDSnqnI9POnNAHyNVzndVgmPgnRXS18KLOQXYYs-Oqk2A-2e2oXwaG20RniJueg.wJyK7XVVdC5lfsik3-7n9t_cgXcccWZgrsEQ4A136k8&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+eternity+lens&qid=1752439555&sprefix=THE+ETERNITY+LEN%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-1PRAYER REQUEST Support the show
