| Share In Christ's Glory and Suffering |
| If we are to share in Christ's glory, we must also share in His suffering - that we must understand. What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will give us by His command. Being Christians we have the Holy Spirit within us as a fortaste of future glory. Many times we groan to be released from our pain - that's a sad story. But we are saved and that's what really counts, so we should look to the future with great joy and anticipation. The Holy Spirit helps us in times of distress, as God has done also since our creation. The holy Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's will each day. God causes everything to work out forour good in every way. So to share in Christ's glory is an honor and a blessing that is pure and Heaven sent. God knows us in advance and chose us to be like Christ, the first born Son - so in that right we are to be content. inspired by Romans 8:17-30 written 4/2/2002 |
