We must be part of the fellowship of His Suffering

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WE MUST BE PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING

TO BE LIKE CHRIST REQUIRES KNOWING THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS.

Our Savior came to suffer for our sins on the cross. His entire ministry was marked by misunderstanding, opposition, betrayal, and death. While we can never enter into His sufferings in the same way that He suffered on the cross, there is a sense in which we can never be like Him if we do not go through suffering and learn to entrust our souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right (1 Pet. 4:19; see also 1 Pet. 2:21-23; 4:13; Rom. 8:17-25; 2 Cor. 1:5).

Hebrews 5:8 makes the startling statement that “Jesus learned obedience through the things He suffered.” It does not mean that Jesus was disobedient and had to learn to be obedient through suffering. It means that He had never experienced the test of obedience until He suffered. His suffering for our sins on the cross was the ultimate test of His submission to the will of the Father. If we are to be like Him, we must also learn to obey God through suffering.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you will not suffer from the hands of the Devil and whatever is causing you pain is hereby remove in your life in Jesus Name
