Christ's Suffering & Your Response

Christ’s Suffering
Your Response

First, Jesus was deserted, weakened, reproached, deserted by family and friends, laughed at, betrayed by religious leaders, pierced, and shamed. He did not deserve to go through these torments; you did. But he loved you. His condescension is unparalleled. This knowledge of Christ’s work in your place should bring refreshment to your soul. Second, he gained glory for himself through his death. How? He made you a child fit for heaven. He gave you access to God. He made you an ambassador of righteousness. He guarantees a future for you that is certain and bright. .

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ: 1. Be clear announcers of his good news to your family, your friends, your enemies, even to all the peoples on earth. 2. Don’ be bogged down by little things. Don’t worry about food… clothing… health…cars… or employment. The big thing has been resolved. If the Lord has the power to help you with the big thing – your eternal salvation, do you think the little things are difficult for him? And hasn’t he assure you that he will meet all your needs?
