Sufferings.
Romans 8:18, For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Is there enough suffering to go around? Apparently there is more than enough. It’s not a matter of if we will suffer, its a matter of when. Paul suffered more than most of us will ever suffer for his faith, stoned and left for dead, shipwrecked, beaten, whipped and assaulted by his own peers for his faith he knew that his redeemer lives. And we have that same redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ who has paid our debt in full. One day the glory of those who believe will be revealed!
We are ready and also desire that everyone will have the opportunity to hear your word and believe on the One whom you have sent, O Lord!
