Our Lives, His Letter/Suffering 101

Through this passage, we are challenged to consider whether or not our lives are a letter of commendation for Christ (2 Corinthians 3:1-3). And from 2 Corinthians 4:7-18, we learn that the Lord's strength is greater than our suffering, that He uses our suffering for our sanctification, and the salvation of others, and that today's pain pales in comparison to tomorrow's gain and glory if we suffer well for His name's sake.
