Many tribulations.

Acts 14;21-22, And after they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, ”Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

God was not finished with Paul, as he was apparently raised from the dead. We need not worry; we preach, those who are called come! We make discipoles, then encourage them to remember Paul’s idea of “filling up the sufferings of Christ.” Not a poplular idea, just scriptural, as we enter His kingdom.

Strengthen our walk even through troubles for Your Name’s sake, Lord Jesus!
