Bible Question: what does the phrase "share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" mean? |
Bible Answer: Always look at the context. Paul is talking about suffering and deception. He is now making an appeal to stand firm. He refers back to their salvation. Now he refers to the future in heaven, the glory of the Lord. This brings to mind how he got his glory. Jesus preached the truth. Then he was faced with intense suffering. He prayed so hard to prepare himself, that he sweated drops of blood. Then he went to the cross and bore our sins and was separated from the Father, his true suffering. Research on share in the New Testament. We are to share in his sufferings and stand firm. How many can't even preach the Gospel because of mild verbal rejection. People have preached the Gospel during intense physical persecution. Stand firm so you might have great joy at his coming and not have your works burned up. |
