Christ Himself said that we will have trouble in this world, but we can take hope because He has overcome the world (John 16:33).

God’s handling of us when we sin is instructive and intentional. The consequences we bear are intended to help us to grow and change.

Regardless of what the type of suffering is, it is important to understand that God is in charge of it.

While it is not necessary for us to experience all kinds of suffering to minister to one another, God in His providence allows us to endure trials of many kinds so we can do just that.

Christ is the confident expectation of the Christ follower because our hope is based on the finished work of Christ and the unfailing promises of God.
