Pain, pressure, perplexity, setbacks and death in ministry
My wife and I were just considering a passage of Scripture today from 2 Corinthians 4:8-11:
“We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed – always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always being delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.”
I am aware that God has made promises to His children. God has promised many good things.
