The Wounds of Christ Isaiah 53:5 Within a few days from the Triumphal Entry, the exaltation of Christ by the crowds would quickly give way to untold suffering and the angry shouts of a mob saying “Crucify Him!” Christ’s reprehensible suffering is prophesied in the Old Testament. ...read more

Paul was a great sufferer of all kinds of unjust pain, and it was not because of sin, but because he was a servant of Christ.
One of the good things to come out of suffering is this: It forces those who cannot see any sense in it to grapple with the mystery, and strive to squeeze some meaning out of it. Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more
Scripture: John 9:1-23
When we humble ourselves, it joins us with Christ in his suffering, and we will also be joined with Christ in his exaltation.
Scripture constantly promises that God will exalt the humble. But what if you don’t desire exaltation? This message will help you see why we must pursue exaltation from God and how we can do so by fulfilling what is lacking in Christ’s suffering. Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same ...read more
Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11
Jesus died to forgive our sins, and He also helps us bear our pain and suffering, as Isaiah 53 describes. Why would we want to bear our sin and suffering alone when Jesus stands at the ready?

What Paul was doing in the early church we are to continue to do the same today. The caveat is that we must always be careful not to bend the message of the gospel to fit the preference or desires of those to whom we are sharing the gospel.

Scripture: Matthew 1:23
The cross today is a vivid symbol of a great past victory that involved horrible pain and crucifixion. When we see our shiny crosses that symbolize this past event, we must also remind ourselves that it was really an “Old Rugged Cross”, as the song says,
He who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:38-39) What happened at the college called Virginia Tech in the eastern United States, was simply terrible. It appears that a ...read more
