Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 1 Corinthians 9:25b
Men and women are willing to endure tremendous hardships for earthly honours. Sir Ernest Shackleton once placed this ad in a London paper: “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.” They all returned to their homes safely and were given honour and recognition. They did it to obtain a corruptible crown. How much more should we be willing to do for an incorruptible crown? —W. Ross Rainey
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,and all the world go free?
There’s a cross for all who trust, and I know that there’s a cross for me.—James Cleveland
