How Did Jesus Endure Suffering During His Life? | April 6 In this episode of Strength for Today, Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, TN explores Isaiah 53:1-5 and Westminster Larger Catechism Question 48 to answer the question: How did Jesus endure suffering during His life? Isaiah 53 paints a vivid and sobering portrait of Christ—the Man of Sorrows. Though He is the eternal Son of God, Jesus chose to enter a world of rejection, grief, temptation, and pain. He humbled Himself, subjected Himself to the law, endured the scorn of men, and faced every form of suffering known to humanity. But why? Because He came to bear our sin, to walk our road, and to bring us peace. We'll see how the Westminster Standards deepen our understanding of His humiliation and identify how Christ's sufferings in life apply to our own daily struggles, temptations, and trials. Whether you are discouraged, afflicted, tempted, or feeling forgotten, this episode will remind you that Christ has walked your path and carried your griefs. Through His wounds, we are healed.
