Today is Monday, October 21, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.
God the Father had a purpose for the pain that Jesus submitted to and agreed with: Through Jesus’ wounds would come the redemption of His people. Jesus endured the pain as He willingly submitted to death because He also knew the plan of the Father and what His future would hold. God promised that He would be rewarded for His obedience.
Yet just because we have accepted Jesus’ sacrifice does not mean we will be immune to pain. Pain and suffering will follow us to our earthly graves. Many of us will find ourselves crying out in the dark of night, “Why is this happening?” For those in Jesus’ arms, however, there is a reason to endure the pain, just as Jesus had a reason to endure His. Because God is working all things to His glory, we can walk through trials and sufferings trusting that ultimately there is purpose to our pain. God is not limited to our human-designed calendar system. One day, when heaven comes to earth, suddenly our pain will all make sense and pale in comparison of God’s glory.
Think about this: What can we learn from this session about one of the ways God uses suffering? How can Jesus’ suffering help us to view our own suffering in this life?
