Jesus Suffering

Jesus Suffering Your Suffering Rom. 52-5
2
Gods will is not for you to suffer,
but you may suffer for doing Gods will. Phil
Drysdale

Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd
gathered, so that he and his disciples were not
even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about
this, they went to take charge of him, for they
said, He is out of his mind.   Mark 320-21

4
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers,
about the hardships we suffered in the province
of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond
our ability to endure, so that we despaired even
of life. 9 Indeed, in our hearts we felt the
sentence of death. But this happened that we
might not rely on ourselves but on God, who
raises the dead. 10 He has delivered us from such
a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we
have set our hope that he will continue to
deliver us, 11 as you help us by your prayers.  
2 Cor. 18-11  

5
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of
God. 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our
sufferings, because we know that suffering
produces perseverance 4 perseverance, character
and character, hope. 5 And hope does not
disappoint us, because God has poured out his
love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he
has given us.    Romans 52b-5

6
1)  Perseverance Ability to stand up
under pressure. Endurance diligence
patience. Opposite of perseverance Panic and
fear.

7
2)  Character Tested, proven, reliable.

3)  HOPE Confidence in God. Based on
maturing, Spirit-encounters. Remembering how God
showed up miraculously in your past trusting He
will again because His love for you hasnt
changed.   NOT wishful thinking.

Jesus answered, The work of God is this To
believe in the one he has sent.   John 629
