亲爱的弟兄啊，有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪（似乎是遭遇非常的事）倒要欢喜；因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在他荣耀显现的时候，也可以欢喜快乐。
彼得前书 4:12,13

你曾否因为背负我的名而流血？当这个情况发生时，你就能知道你是否真的与我站在一起。同时，要信靠我能够使你在日常小事上得胜，并为那些今天受到逼迫者祷告……
0924 JESUS is SUFFERING
JESUS is SUFFERING. He experienced hardship and pain in His birth, life, and death. Even now He feels with us, His body, as we pay the terrible price of death to ourselves and become vulnerable to persecution for His name. JESUS says…
Have you lost blood because you bear My name? When this happens you can know if you truly stand with Me. Meanwhile, trust Me to enable you to overcome in the daily little things and pray for those who are suffering persecution today…
“Behold, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange things were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.”
1 Peter 4:12,13
