His Glory, Our Joy In Suffering
May 25, 2014 • Allen Coleman • Philippians: His Glory. Our Joy.
If you live long enough, you will suffer. Too often we avoid the suffering and trials that come our way. The Bible is not surprised by suffering; Jesus hung on a cross to die for our sins. Here in Philippians, Paul, a man in prison at the time of this letter, tells us that our suffering glorifies God. Whatever the pain or hurt or trial is, it has a purpose in your life, it is meant to draw you nearer to the Lord. The question is not when or if you will suffer, because you will, it’s how will you deal with your suffering?
