This week we look at the second part of chapter 2. We discuss how verses 10-12 shed light on Genesis 38 and the importance of the principle of death to self each day and the resurrection life that comes after each hardship we encounter and that in doing so we cause the work of Messiah to become far more than just about eternal life in heaven after physical death on earth. We look at our role as priests in the world and the call on our lives to examine ourselves as we seek to be living sacrifices acceptable to the Father.
