| Watching Paula Radcliffe fade out of the 2004 Olympic Marathon, I thought: that's what happens when your hope is set on something temporary - no gold, no point continuing. | |

|
2 Cor 4:18 reminds us that, with Jesus, we've got our eyes set on a hope that is eternal, even tho we can't see it.So we can keep going, whatever. Thanks Jesus! | |

1,4. What we see, it's temporary! |
Hand shading eyes, look around |
|
It doesn't last, and it will end. |
Both hands stretch up in front, wiggle fingers, move hands down towards floor |
|
What we can't see: it is eternal: |
Hands face up on either side, shrugging |
|
it is forever, and ever, Amen! |
Hands together up above head, move out on either side describing a circle |
|
| |

2. Burger and Chips? |
Make hand as if grabbing burger... |
|
We can see them. |
... and look at it! |
|
Munch munch munch, and they are gone. |
Hands moving alternatively towards mouth as if eating using cutlery (politely, of course) |
|
Mobile phones, trendy clothes, |
Make phone to ear, point at clothes |
|
and computers; |
Type on invisible keyboard |
|
they break down, they wear out, |
Cross arms in X, move apart as if breaking |
|
crash bang boom! |
Clap Clap Clap |
|
| |
|
3. Can't see Jesus, and he's forever. |
Look around quizically, then do 'forever' action from v1 |
|
His forgiveness? Invisible! |
Arms outstretches as a Cross |
|
And his love? Oh his love: |
Hand over heart, beating outwards |
|
we cannot see it! | |
|
But it always, it always is there. |
Thumbs up on both hands, moving in time to music |
