When Trouble Comes: We are Afflicted in Every Way -
Paul’s Light & Momentary Troubles (2 Corinthians 4:7-18)
How did the apostle Paul grapple with the realities of trouble and suffering in his ministry to the early church? Drawing from Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, Philip Ryken shows how "a decision to live for Christ is really a decision to die for Christ." Paul's troubles also provide a stark reminder of the sufferings endured by the persecuted church around the world, and Dr. Ryken cites examples of these sufferings, exhorting Wheaton students to solidarity with these brothers and sisters in Christ. Moreover, Dr. Ryken shows how these troubles draw us to prayer—prayer for sufferings both home and abroad. At the same time, we must remember that these sufferings are only temporary, dwarfed in significance by the glory of an eternity with Christ.
