In this episode of Understanding 2 Corinthians, Paul unfolds a vision of ministry shaped by perseverance, weakness, and eternal hope. Carrying the treasure of the gospel in fragile jars, believers learn that suffering does not signal defeat but becomes the stage for God’s sustaining power. Paul calls the church to fix its gaze beyond present affliction to the unseen realities secured by Christ’s resurrection. With the certainty of future glory and the coming judgment seat of Christ in view, Christian life and ministry take on renewed seriousness and courage. What emerges is a portrait of endurance rooted not in human strength, but in resurrection confidence.
