1. I know Jesus
2 Corinthians 4:6
Genesis 1:1-3
2 Corinthians 5:17
2. I have the power of the resurrection in me
2 Corinthians 4:7
Ecclesiastes 3:20b
Someone once asked St. Francis how he was able to accomplish so much. He replied, “This may be why: The Lord looked down from heaven and said, ‘Where can I find the weakest, littlest man on earth?’ Then he saw me and said, ‘I’ve found him, and he won’t be proud of it. He’ll see that I am only using him because of his insignificance.’”
3. Suffering will not destroy me
Someone asked C.S. Lewis, “Why do the righteous suffer?” “Why not?” he replied. “They’re the only ones who can take it.”
“If you want to see resurrection at work here and now, in your life, you have to be prepared to see crucifixion at work as well.”
N.T. Wright
“I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. God is not a god who is immune from suffering.” John Stott
