'I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for His body, the church,'
Paul says he is glad when he suffers for the colossian church! I believe that there is something very spiritual about going from suffering to glory and how Christ went from suffering to eternal glory. I also believe the same is true of us, our suffering plays a part in shaping us and preparing us for God's eternal Glory! But I'm still not sure how 'glad' I am about the suffering I endure, maybe we should be glad for our suffering and not just see it as means to an end, Something we need to endure to have what's coming next?
'And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. Thid gives you assurance of sharing His glory!'
Christ, the very same Christ through whom all things were made, who was slain BEFORE the foundations of the earth lives in you and me!!!! WOW! That very power of God is inside of you and me! How can we ever be the same?
Plus we can share in Jesus' glory!!!!! WHAT? How amazing, gobsmacking and utterly baffling yet awesome is that!
