Suffering Through Good And Bad Times

Isaiah 53: 4,5,6

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did not esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

*** We are so blessed that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He took on our sins so that we might become the righteousness of God in him, according to II Corinthians 5:21.

God carries us through seen and unseen sufferings.The sadness and sorrows that we would normally endure we have not endured; because he conquered them and gave us peace instead.The sickness that was meant for us to go through; Jesus stopped it in it's track because he took on the stripes of the world so that we might be healed

*** Many times we put on smiling faces; this does not mean that we are not going through. Many times it means we may never get over past hurts, weaknesses and pain; but we can get through them with the help of the good Lord.

***We are all or use to be like our children (sheep); we wonder away sometimes and go our own way. The word of God has to bring us back. Godly teaching and education to our children will help them make their way back also.

*** He died so that we might me saved and have life more abundantly. He rose to seek and save those who are lost; through the word of God.

*** He satisfaction from death on the cross will come when men, women and chldren give thier lives to God.


Question: Do we suffer all day long for righteousness sake?
                or do we suffer because we have done wrong?

Lets think on this; until we meet again soon.
