Tried and True | Week 3 | 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

When Mary encounters the risen Jesus in John 20, her grief gives way to a new perspective. The resurrection changes how she sees what lies ahead. In 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, Paul likewise finds strength by looking beyond present suffering to eternal glory. This message invites us to let that hope reshape our everyday lives, from serving and generosity to relationships and the struggles we face. Our circumstances may remain difficult, but Jesus can renew us within them. As we respond to his voice and fix our eyes on what lasts, we can live with purpose, love others, and share the life we have found in him.
