Our Suffering, His Glory!!!

Tim Tebow! Everytime he speaks to the media, it’s easy to think, “Wow, what a neat way to bring glory to God!!! “ Being the nation’s youngest Heisman trophy winner, he will be respected and admired for decades. Glory, fame, honor, endorsements! Sound exciting? Does to me!


However, do not be deceived. This is not the typical way in which God chooses to bring glory to Himself.


Consider our Savior. While walking the earth, Jesus was hardly respected and admired. In fact, it says that he was despised, rejected, smitten of God, afflicted, bruised, beaten, oppressed. He was pierced through for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; He poured out Himself to death, he was numbered with the transgressors; He bore our sin.....
Yet, God was glorified in His sufferings.


Beloveds, your suffering is His glory. That’s our goal! His Glory, whatever the cost!

Embrace the Cross

My beloveds, I don’t know God’s specific plans for you. But I do know one thing. Suffering for His name’s sake will be the theme. Embrace this suffering.

Keep in mind, salvation and suffering are a package deal. They are a gift. The two go together. You can’t have one without the other. So, do not be surprised at the trials what you must endure for His name’s sake.

And what does suffering look like? Forsaking your will, your desires, your plans for His. Turning from your old ways to a much better way. Jesus said, take up your cross and follow Me. Salvation is His invitation to suffer with Him.

Please answer His call and do not be afraid. Embrace the cross. It’s the road to everlasting joy and eternal life. I'll meet you there!

Phil 1:29-
For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.
