Word of the Day - 9/11/2008

Incommensurate

Incommensurate means not commensurate; disproportionate; inadequate.

Paul assures his readers that the suffering endured in this world is incommensurate to the glory that will be revealed.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18, NASB)

Note: This oil on canvas by contemporary Christian artist Cornelis Monsma is called "Persecution".
