"...We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the
things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor. 4:18)
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb. 11:1)
Africa has a small deer named "impala" which can jump to a height of over 10 feet and cover a
distance of more than 30 feet. However, these magnificent creatures can be kept in any enclosure
with a wall only 3 feet high. Impalas will not jump when they cannot see where their feet will land.
Thus, in order to contain them the enclosure must be a wall and not a see-through fence.
By examining the evidence, we have faith or trust in that which we cannot see. Through faith we are freed from all enclosures that entrap us. Through faith we are able to see that which is not seen.
