About this image
One step. That is all the light shows you. The rest of the staircase drops away into darkness, and you keep walking anyway. Second Corinthians 5:7 is five words in Greek: dia pisteos gar peripatoumen ou dia eidous. "For by faith we walk, not by sight." The word peripateo -- "walk" -- is a present active indicative. It describes continuous, ongoing, habitual action. This is not a one-time leap. It is a lifestyle. Every step is a step of faith, because every step moves you further from what you could verify by looking. Paul contrasts two modes of navigation: pistis (faith) and eidos (sight, appearance, visible form). The Corinthian church would have understood this contrast viscerally. They lived in a culture obsessed with visible markers of status -- rhetorical skill, philosophical credentials, physical presence. Paul had none of these. His opponents mocked his appearance and his speech. But Paul says: I am not walking by those metrics. I am walking by a different navigation system entirely. The phone flashlight in this image is a modern translation of an oil lamp -- the first-century traveler carried just enough light for the next step, never the whole road. And that was considered sufficient. Free HD download for phone and desktop.
