2 Corinthians 4:8-12 - Living for Christ

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, 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. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 NIV

Living for Christ will not be an easy road to travel. It is through our bodies that Christ can be revealed to others. Not through our hardships, but through the resulting perserverance we have in Jesus.
