The Benefits of Suffering for Christ (2 Corinthians 4:8-18)
We come now to the study of the Word of God, and we have been looking at 2 Corinthians chapter 4. I invite you to turn in your Bible to that chapter, with apologies to those of you who haven’t been here the last few weeks. We’ve been slowly working our way through this chapter because we have been talking about the fact that as Christian believers, we are citizens of the heavenly kingdom, and our responsibility is to shine the light into the darkness. The light is in us because Christ is in us. The light is also in the Word of God because therein is the light of the gospel revealed. Verse 5 of this chapter says, “We do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.” This is the heart of the point and purpose of the church in the world, to preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord.
