Shine : An Enduring Light - 2 Cor. 4:5-18

This world is dark. It is broken. We must often suffer. Especially those who are followers of Jesus endure suffering in this world. For the sake of Jesus and his Gospel, we are called to live differently. We are called to live lives not for ourselves, but for Jesus, which often means, discomfort, awkwardness, pain, suffering, and even death. Yet, we live as witnesses of Christ's love. We endure what many would not bother enduring. We put up with pain, suffering, and yes, even death, all for the sake of the Gospel! We shown the strength of God's word in our weakness, that we are willing to give up all things and become weak ourselves that we may have the promise of the resurrection and the life that comes from Jesus.
