Yoked With Christ

• Remember our “risen” Saviour (2 Timothy 2) • “Look…” unto Jesus (Hebrews 12)

2 Corinthians 4 8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.

We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. . 9

Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies. 10

Come broken
