James Cone on Suffering and Hope - Progressive (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
Source: James ConeShort49 words
"The oppressed know bodily suffering—wasting under injustice. But inner renewal is resistance; hope persists when bodies are broken. Light affliction? The suffering is real—but so is the coming glory. Fixing eyes on justice not yet seen, we endure. Resurrection hope fuels the struggle." — James Cone. Progressive: resistant hope.
