Through our session in 2 Corinthians chapter 4 today we shall take in 3 initial points. 1) God commands the light to shine - From the beginning when God said, "Let there be light", to the reality of His Word, "In Him was light, and that light was the life of men" we find our LORD's desire in delivering us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. That we are no longer gripped by ignorance, but have come to the saving knowledge of His truth! 2) Death is working in us, but life in you. - This is the reality for true ministers of the Gospel! Never shall they be very popular, nor keenly appreciated. Those who are genuine to their faith know they shall be persecuted, mocked, struck down, and hard pressed on every side. In the face of all this they gladly accept such hardship and harsh treatment (often from those claiming to be "Christians") and take that death in themselves to be able to share the life of Jesus with others. 3) We Do Not Lose Heart - We believe therefore we speak! In that all things shared are for the sake of those who receive Christ, we do not lose heart. Though we may suffer physically as well as emotionally we do not quit. As we remain faithful to God's work He renews us and reminds us always to keep our heart's eyes fixed on that eternal prize, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory! So, may God bless you richly for gathering together with us on the Corner this day with Pastor J!
