Apart from the cross itself, there can be no more poignant a symbol of the horrendous sufferings of Christ than the awful crown of thorns that He wore. The hymn writer wrote, "See from His head, His hands, His feet; sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet; Or thorns compose so rich a crown?" It was an instrument of pain, mockery and reproach that came from the hearts of wicked men. But it was also an emblem of Christ's ultimate purpose to put away the curse once and for all.
In today's message, Darryl speaks on why there is suffering in the world. When hope is hidden, and pain is evident, we must lean on Christ for his wisdom and guidance.
[1 Peter 4:12-13] Suffering in the Christian life is not strange. You are experiencing the same path and have fellowship with your Lord Jesus as you walk through suffering, which helps you to know Him more.
Thank you for turning into my podcast I'm going to open with prayer heavenly father work in me and threw me to communicate your truth by means of allowing the Holy Spirit to fill, lead, guide, and direct me. I ask this in Jesus mighty name, Amen. I'm going to share a Bible scriptural passages about the suffering of Christ and why God the Father loved us so much that he was willing to give his only Eternal Begotten Son, meaning Christ has always existed with the Father and He is one with the Father even before his pre-incarnation. I just wanted to clarify that for all those heretic hunters out there. Isaiah 53:1-12 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 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. 6 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. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken. 9 And he made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

In "Remembering the Sufferings of Christ," the speaker leads a prayer expressing gratitude for the opportunity to reflect on Jesus' crucifixion and the importance of remembering that our sins were also redeemed through it.

He describes Jesus' physical and emotional torment during the crucifixion, emphasizing His sacrifice's significance in setting us free from sin and death. The speaker also emphasizes Jesus as the suffering servant, judge of death and Hades, and the only one worthy to receive anything directly from God's hands. He encourages daily surrender to Christ and identifies baptism as a symbolic act of identifying with His death and resurrection. The speaker shares personal experiences of leading people to Christ and the benefits of memorizing Scripture. Throughout the video, he emphasizes the importance of living in the saved state Christ has afforded us and making a difference in the world by living like Him. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roguechristian/support
Summary: Walking in the footsteps of Jesus begins with learning obedience. The things that we go through mold us into what God wants. Suffering is used by the Father to develop us into His sons. The result is a relationship in His presence and God pouring out His holiness on us. Show Notes: Do you believe God feels pain? He feels pain when He sees what has happened to His creation, especially the miserable plight that the human race has manifested. Why do people suffer? It may not have been the plan for individuals, but some seem to open up in a deeper way through suffering. This is a mystery. As a forerunner, Christ experienced suffering as he matured, not just when he was crucified. As Paul wrote, it's a privilege to help fill up the sufferings of Christ. He disciplines for our own good so that we may share in His holiness. It's our choice. Quotes: We see in the gospels how Jesus thought and reacted. Matthew 23:37 “How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Suffering has a way of either opening your heart wide, or it closes it. He allows you to go through it because you're going to open up to His love in a deeper way. The pain and sufferings we go through are allowing us to touch a part of God that is real too, that nobody wants to talk about or even acknowledge. We're becoming more like the Lord, who became more like His Father. This is what we're in this process of. We're becoming more like our Father who created us after His image. References: Hebrews 5:7-8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. Colossians 1:24 (Fill up the sufferings of Christ) Isaiah 6:5 (The Lord appears to Isaiah) Philippians 3:10 “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.” Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children heirs also heirs of God, and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may...
Sermon Outline: The Gospel of Christ is an historical event The Events of the Gospel were predicted long before they happened How Christ makes himself known Family Discussion Questions: What things did Jesus do that made the 2 men walking down the road think he was the Messiah? What were the disciples hoping Jesus would do? Why were these disciples sad? What did use to teach these men that His death was the plan of God all along? When did these men finally realize it was Jesus who was with them? Why does Paul call reading the Old Testament without trusting in Jesus, reading with a veil covering your eyes? What two main things does the Old Testament teach us about the Lord Jesus? Describe a few of the Old Testament passages which predict Christs work and explain how they do so. The Holy Spirit was the one who worked in the hearts of these men to long for Christ. What does this passage teach us about what He uses to do so? How is it that Christs sufferings fulfilled the Scripture and produce eternal glory for him and his people?

Keep the faith, then, and guard it against your enemy the devil, who desires and attempts to seize it away from you and make you his captive. Struggle against this enemy; consider, then, the suffering of Christ and it will teach you every virtue. In order to correct yourself and become a true Christian, that is Christ's, set the holy life of Christ before your eyes and imitate its example. And even though your heart, corrupt as it is, does not wish it, force and convince yourself to imitate the beautiful virtues of Christ. You look into a mirror so that you may know what is in your face, whether there are any blemishes in it, and having seen blemishes, you cleanse them. Let the immaculate life of Christ be a mirror to your soul, look into it often and know what is in your soul. Does it desire the same things that Christ desires? And does it do what Christ did when He lived on earth? And in it you will see what is contrary to the life of Christ, and you will cleanse it all like blemishes with repentance and contrition of heart. ______ Orthodox Wisdom is dedicated to sharing the writings and lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV 1 Peter 5 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. ...

Matthew 27:27-44 - Jesus Is Mocked 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. 28 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him. Let us observe in the first place, the extent and reality of our Lord's sufferings. “Jesus had a real human body, was it a body exactly like our own, just as sensitive, just as vulnerable, just as capable of feeling intense pain?“ Our Lord, we must remember, had already passed a night without sleep, and endured excessive fatigue. They spit upon Him. They smote Him on the head. And finally they led Him out of the city, to a place called Golgotha, and there crucified Him between two thieves. What was a crucifixion? How can we realize it and understand its misery? Let us meditate frequently on these things. Let us often read over the story of Christ's cross and passion. Let us remember, not least, that all these horrible sufferings were borne without a murmur. No word of impatience crossed our Lord's lips. To the very last, Satan found nothing in Him. (John 14:30-31.) I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here. Was Christ in His death, as He was in His life, perfect? Let us observe, in the second place, that all our Lord Jesus Christ's sufferings were vicarious. He suffered not for His own sins, but for ours. He was eminently our substitute in all His passion. Was He scourged? It was that "through His stripes we might be healed." Was he condemned, though innocent? It was that we might be acquitted though guilty. Did He wear a crown of thorns? It was that we might wear the crown of glory. Was He stripped of His clothing? It was that we might be clothed in everlasting righteousness. Was he mocked and reviled? It was that we might be honored and blessed. Was He reckoned a malefactor, and numbered among transgressors? It was that we might be reckoned innocent, and justified from all sin. Was he declared unable to save Himself? It was that He might be able to save others to the uttermost. Did He die at last, and that the most painful and disgraceful of deaths? It was that we might live for evermore and be exalted to the highest glory. Let us ponder these things well. Are they are worth remembering? Is the key to peace a right understanding of the vicarious sufferings of Christ? Last, but not least, let us ever learn from the story of the passion, to hate sin with a great hatred. Sin was the cause of all our Savior's suffering. Our sins platted the crown of thorns. Our sins drove the nails into His hands and feet. On account of our sins His blood was shed. Surely the thought of Christ crucified should make us loathe all sin. Well says the Homily of the Passion, "Let this image of Christ crucified be always printed in our hearts. Let it stir us up to the hatred of sin, and provoke our minds to the earnest love of Almighty God." Is the Christian life a life of only love? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebulldog/message

In this week's episode, we continue our Lenten study on the book “A Time of Renewal” and focus on the theme of “filling up the sufferings of Christ”. We reflect on the connection between repentance and love, recognizing how they complement each other, and the beauty of repentance as an intimate act of drawing nearer to God. We share our own struggles during this Lenten season, how others have helped keep us accountable, and the importance of helping others grow in holiness. Lastly, we chat about the significance of renouncing falsehoods about ourselves and embracing the truth about our identity that can only be found in God. Heather's One Thing -The song Jesus is My Healer by Gateway Worship Sister Miriam's On Thing - Andrew Laubacher and his organization called Humanality Michelle's One Thing - Fr. Mark Mary CFR new book The Father: 30 Meditations to Draw You Into the Heart of God Journal Questions: Where is the ease of the Lord in my life? How can I turn back to the Lord in moments of hardship this Lent? In the people I struggle with most, how do I encounter the image of God in them? In my own self-righteousness, from whom do I withhold the kingdom of God? Discussion Questions: Do you perceive repentance as an opportunity for intimacy or a response to punishment? How can you more urgently respond to God's invitation of love? What accountability can you incorporate to be steadfast to your Lenten promises? How can you invite a culture of redemption into your life? Quote to Ponder: “Our joy must be in him, where alone things have permanent depth and even eternality. The more earnestly we live our Lent, the more will we be finding our joy in Jesus.” (Mother Mary Francis P.C.C. A Time of Renewal. Kindle Edition. Page 148) Scripture for Lectio: “He delivered us from the dominion of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved son.” (Colossians 1:13) Sponsor - Mary's Meals: Mary's Meals sets up community-run school feeding projects in some of the world's poorest communities, where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education.

The message preached by the early church was a simple and yet triumphant one. They preached Christ “and Him crucified”. Christ bore our iniquities. He suffered for every one. How marvellous is the story of the grace of God! The Sovereign of the universe closed His eyes in death for the vilest sinner on earth. You find it hard to believe? It's what the gospel teaches, my friend. Turn your incredulity into songs of praise. And open your heart to trust Him, won't you?

Northwest Bible Church – Jan. 8, 2023 – Book of Job – Alan Conner Job 31 The Innocent Sufferer Intro A. DIVINE DISCIPLINE AS A MOTIVE FOR GODLY LIVING (ch. 31). 1. Job's innocence regarding sin (Job 31:1-40). 2. Job's fear of divine discipline (Job 31:2-3, 23, 28). 3. Job swears an oath of innocence (Job 31:8, 10, 22, 40). 4. All believers should fear divine discipline for sin (Heb. 12). a. God disciplines all His children in love (Heb. 12:5-9). b. Reasons for the Father's discipline (Job 12:10-11). (1) For our good (Job 31:10). (2) Share His holiness (Job 31:10). (3) Training for peace and righteousness (Job 31:11). c. The sorrow of discipline (Job 31:11). B. BELIEVERS AS INNOCENT SUFFERERS. 1. Sometimes believers suffer unjustly. 2. The pattern is to conform us to Christ's image. Rom. 8:29, 17. 3. Christ as an innocent Sufferer becomes our example. 1 Pet. 2:18-24. Conclusion
Psalm 69 reveals details about Jesus' earthly life that would be fulfilled a thousand years later. It also reveals something of God's sovereign control, knowledge, and purposes; and it assures us that His plan for us, like His plan for Jesus, is right on schedule in every detail.

Romans 8:32 - It is instinctive to try to spare loved ones from pain and suffering if at all possible. Yet one reads in Romans 8:32 that God the Father did not spare His Son from suffering; rather the Son was delivered up for unworthy sinners. Can such a statement by the apostle Paul be the apex of the glory of God? Can the truth of Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and the appeasement of the Father's wrath truly be God's most glorious display of His love? This is the argument of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in this sermon on Romans 8:32 titled The Sufferings of Christ. He meticulously examines each word in this theologically-rich verse by the great apostle. Every word, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, is of upmost importance in expounding the wondrous truth of God's grace in this text. Dr. Lloyd-Jones not only makes a case for the Father graciously giving up His Son for the salvation of sinners, but he sheds light on the true agony and grief Christ felt in His sufferings. While some want to minimize Christ's cry of dereliction, Dr. Lloyd-Jones proclaims the glory of God in the suffering of the Son.
