親愛的弟兄啊，有火煉的試驗臨到你們，不要以為奇怪（似乎是遭遇非常的事）倒要歡喜；因為你們是與基督一同受苦，使你們在他榮耀顯現的時候，也可以歡喜快樂。
彼得前書 4:12,13
耶穌是受苦的。在祂的出世、生與死之中，經歷了艱難和痛苦。甚至現在當我們——祂的身體——為向自己死而付上可怕的死亡代價，並為祂的名變得容易受到逼迫時，祂與我們一同感受。耶穌說……
你曾否因為背負我的名而流血？當這個情況發生時，你就能知道你是否真的與我站在一起。同時，要信靠我能夠使你在日常小事上得勝，並為那些今天受到逼迫者禱告……
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
