Episode 120 - Eyes, Shoulders, Knees & Ears (Knees & Ears)

“Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was undimmed, and his vigor unabated.” —Deut. 34:7 (ESV) Keying off of this episode number and Moses’ remarkable lifespan and strong ending, Paul overviews three areas of physical challenges with which nearly all humans struggle: from birth (defects, etc.); from activities (injuries, etc.); and from aging (both predictable and unpredictable maladies). Using a few personal examples with an aim to challenge listeners in Christ to long for our resurrection bodies even while humbly adapting to our temporal issues, Paul draws on key passages from Phil. 4:6-7; 2 Cor. 4:16-17; and 1 Cor. 15. “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” —2 Cor. 4:16 (ESV)
