What Does 2 Corinthians 4:14 Mean?
Here is the certainty beneath Paul's courage. He preaches and suffers 'knowing' something sure: the God who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will do the same for those who belong to Him. The resurrection of Jesus is not an isolated wonder but the firstfruits and guarantee of the believer's own.
And the hope is not solitary but shared — God 'shall present us with you,' bringing the whole company of the faithful together into His presence. This is why death at work in him does not dismay Paul. Beyond every grave stands a God who raises the dead and gathers His people. The end of the story is not loss but presentation, glad and unbroken, before the Lord.
