#044 "Manifesting the Life of Jesus" (2 Cor. 4:11)

March 30, 2025 • Kate • Season 1 • Episode 44

"For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh."
(2 Corinthians 4:11)

Last week, Kate explored Christ’s call to die to self by taking up our cross daily. Today, we're turning a corner as we encounter a crucial phrase in 2 Corinthians 4:10-11—"so that."

Why does Paul say we carry the death of Jesus? Why are we given over to death for His sake? It’s so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in us. This is not about suffering for its own sake but about stepping into a vibrant, supernatural life that can only come through surrender.

To understand this, Kate examines the life of Jesus, clarifies what it means for His life to be manifested in us, and unpacks how our mortal flesh becomes a canvas for God’s glory. The Christian life is not just about behavior modification but about gospel transformation—Christ living in us.

If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to live out the gospel, don’t miss this episode. As we die to self, we step into a life that makes no earthly sense—but reveals the glory of Christ in us.
