My friend and servant Paul shared the afflictions that He endured because He was faithful to preach My good news (the gospel) with both the Gentiles and My brethren (the Jews).
He considered what he had endured light affliction. However, we would consider the affliction he endured to be horrific.
How could he say that what he endured was light affliction? Paul kept his eyes on what he could not see. He considered that the light affliction he experienced worked for him a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. I want you to do the same. Keep your eyes on what is eternal, not temporal.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:17-18
