Transcript:
✝️ We come now to the study of the #Word_of_God, and we have been looking at 2 #Corinthians #chapter 4.
0:08
I invite you to turn in your #Bible to that chapter, with apologies to those of you
0:14
who haven’t been here the last few weeks. We’ve been slowly working our way through this chapter
0:20
because we have been talking about the fact that as #Christian_believers, we are #citizens of the
0:26
#heavenly_kingdom, and our responsibility is to shine the #light into the #darkness.
0:33
The light is in us because #Christ is in us. The light is also in the Word of God because therein
0:41
is the light of the #gospel revealed. Verse 5 of this chapter says, “We do not preach ourselves
0:51
but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for #Jesus’ sake.” This is the #heart of the
1:02
point and #purpose of the #church in the world, to #preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord.
1:14
Now we have been discussing the fact that to preach Christ is to provide
1:21
light in the darkness. Just to remind you of that, let me begin in verse 1. Follow along. “Therefore,
1:28
since we have this #ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have #renounced the things hidden because of #shame, not walking in craftiness or #adulterating
1:38
the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s
1:44
conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are
1:50
perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving
1:58
so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2:05
For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’
2:11
sake. For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our
2:18
hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2:23
“We have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of
2:29
God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed,
2:36
but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying
2:43
about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
2:52
For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life
2:57
of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you.
3:05
“But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ‘I believed, therefore I spoke,’ we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise
3:18
us also with Jesus and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to
3:26
more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.
3:32
“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction
3:43
is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
3:50
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen;
3:55
for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
4:04
To pull up and above that text and get an elevated vantage point of what Paul is saying,
4:10
he is saying this: “We have been given the ministry of the new covenant, the preaching
4:18
of the gospel, the glory of the gospel. We preach Christ, we don’t preach ourselves.
4:25
We understand in doing this that we are insignificant. We are clay pots,
4:30
earthen vessels. We have no power; only God has power. We can communicate the message; we have no
4:39
power to change the sinner. In fact, we have to face the reality that dominates all evangelism,
4:49
and that is, if it is faithful it will generate hostility, rejection, hatred, and persecution.”
