I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings… (Philippians 3:10)

Jesus went to the cross.

We probably won’t have to do that.

Jesus became sin, bearing the punishment of all evil for all time.

Not our job

Jesus lived in a world that didn’t understand him, where he did not belong.  He was mocked and abused for obeying the Father.  He was abandoned and betrayed by those who had sworn to love and stand beside him.

Now that…

Cathy and I joined a new home group recently. I don’t know how God is going to use this group, how we might share and impact each other’s lives.  I do know that hardship will come, to one or the other or all of us.  It always does. If we’re brave enough to share the suffering with each other, and to help each other bear the burdens, we might see something pretty amazing happen,

Fellowship

I don’t know what God has called you to endure today, Beloved. I do know that he has not called you to endure it alone.

Happy Tuesday
