Which question better captures your response to the suffering that God allows in your life?
1: “I shouldn’t have to suffer like this. How do I escape it?”
2: “This suffering is hard, but it’s a means of knowing Christ more deeply. How can I endure it toward that end?”
In this Sermon we do some work in Philippians 3:10 and see that, beautifully, the gospel-centered answer is #2.
Note: If God has you in a season of suffering right now, especially of the kind where you’ve been treated unfairly, these words should help.
