Suffering

Our Lord Jesus went into the slave market of sin, bought us, and took us out and set us free. So Paul could then write, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty where Christ hath made us free.” Ah yes, when He said it’s finished, God’s law was satisfied, God’s holiness was vindicated, and God’s redemptive purpose was fulfilled.

Just think: God Almighty came down the stairways of the stars and lived that perfect life, and then went deliberately to an ignominious death of extreme, exquisite suffering on the cross.

This is not, then, the end of a life that was ending with a whimper, but it’s ending with a cry of victory.

No matter what happens, Jesus is always the same. When you do His Will and trust Him, He will alway use your trials to bring forth something good.

Suffering, when you experience it with the Lord Jesus makes you love Him more and makes you a more Christ-like person.

Stay awake with the kind of consciousness that is given to you by the indwelling Spirit of God, who quickens you

Would you tie the destiny of your own life to the fact that God is always right?

You don’t have to worry about your ministry, beloved. God isn’t going to let it fall. He is going to keep on keeping on in His perfect purposes, glorifying His name.
