Life’s Metaphors

Life is a test:
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into
problems and trials, for we know that
they help us develop endurance. [4] And
endurance develops strength of
character, and character strengthens our
confident hope of salvation.”
– Romans 5:3-4 NLT
– Rick Warren
 Life is a trust:
‘Well done, my good servant!’ his
master replied. ‘Because you have
been trustworthy in a very small
matter, take charge of ten cities.'”
- Luke 19:17 NIV
– Rick Warren
 Life is a temporary
assignment:
“For our present troubles are small
and won’t last very long. Yet they
produce for us a glory that vastly
outweighs them and will last forever!”
– 2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT
– Rick Warren
