How can the Christian respond to affliction in the reality of the hope they have in Jesus? By not losing heart.

Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can have hope despite and in the midst of our affliction.

Paul calls the lives of believers "jars of clay" a metaphor which combines with his description of the gospel as light, to highlight the hope we have in Jesus and the means by which our affliction reveals that hope to others.

The Gospel of Jesus, much like light, shines out of the darkness. As we live lives for Christ, that light shines so others may see.

The New covenant of Christ is greater because by it, the veil between us and God is removed through Jesus' sacrifice. Through Christ, we can approach God as Father.
