1 | The lessons of suffering | Col 1:24 | LuckyCharm | 45113 | ||
Thanks for your reply, Creed. I agree that it is important to find the lesson in suffering, and that all suffering contains a hidden gift, a lesson, an inner transformation ("We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." (Rom 5:3-4)) But, to get back to the question, do you believe such things as I have listed can be suffered bravely "for Christ's sake," or that such sufferings are joined to His passion and sacrifice here on Earth? --Cheryl |

2 | The lessons of suffering | Col 1:24 | creed | 45296 | ||
Then my answer is no. One has nothing to do with the other. Jesus did that for us on the cross. It would be egotistic to think anything we do can be compared to that sacrifice. | ||||||
