Thought for the Day – Sharing in Christ’s Sufferings
January 19, 2016 by bjcorbin
I believe that we as “Christians” like to think of our hardships as suffering for Jesus’ sake. But unless we are partaking of the “divine nature”, genuinely attempting to follow the leading of His Spirit, and/or manifesting the character of Christ, it is doubtful that we are actually sharing in His sufferings. More often than not, we are simply reaping the consequences of acting in our own strength, and doing what is “right” in our own eyes.
