Bible verse 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 is explored and is compared to a marathon full of struggle but ending in joy, says Pastor Dave Miller of First Baptist Church in Tekamah, Nebraska.
"After 22 miles of my first marathon, there was hardly a part of my body that wasn’t sore, cramping, fatigued or crying out in pain," he continued.
Calling the next four miles of his first marathon"brutal," Miller said he"slogged through to the finish." Running a marathon is "not about the fun of the run," Pastor Dave Miller said, but "the joy of the finish line."Miller then applied his own experiences to what the apostle Paul went through as a man transformed into a"From the moment he met Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul’s life was hard," Miller said. "In 2 Corinthians [chapter] 11, he recounts his intense sufferings, stresses and sorrows.
Paul put his sufferings in"eternal perspective," said Miller, comparing them to the"eternal weight of glory" that awaits believers at"life’s finish line."
