2 Corinthians 4:6-10
Hard Pressed, but Not Broken
------------------------------
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; imprisoned, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
------------------------------
Lord, on Easter your body still bore the marks of your suffering and death.
Our perpelxed hearts are full of easter, but so many around us are suffering and dying.
Fill us with the signs of your crucified glory,
So we can show the world your resurrection light and life.
