In this powerful message, we're invited to explore how Christians can endure suffering well. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5, we're reminded of three profound truths: our justified hope in the future, our present reality as new creations in Christ, and our renewed purpose as ambassadors for God. The sermon beautifully weaves together the story of missionary Adoniram Judson with Paul's teachings, illustrating how our eternal perspective can transform our approach to earthly trials. We're challenged to lift our eyes from temporary pain to focus on the unseen, eternal glory that awaits us. This message encourages us to embrace our identity as new creations, putting off our old nature and living in accordance with our new life in Christ. As we grapple with suffering, let's remember that we're not just enduring – we're fulfilling a divine purpose as bearers of the message of reconciliation.Chapter 1: Hope in Future Glory - 0:00 - 15:00We can endure suffering because of our justified hope in the future glory promised to believers in Christ.Chapter 2: New Creation in the Present - 15:00 - 30:00As believers, we have hope in the present because we are already new creations in Christ.Chapter 3: Our Renewed Purpose as Ambassadors - 30:00 - 45:00God has blessed believers with a renewed purpose as ambassadors of Christ, entrusted with the message of reconciliation.
