The power that raised Christ up from the dead now operates in our lives since we haven been “raised with Christ”. His resurrection power in you can break every addiction, can break the shame, can destroy bondages, can break the stronghold of lust, can restore your marriage, and can break the hold of anxiety and depression. But that doesn't mean we will never feel suffering or sorrow. If we follow the Man of Sorrows, we too, will walk through suffering and sorrow. If you want to know Christ more than anything in life, and if it’s through suffering for Him that you’ll know Him better, it will be worth it, and you will actually find joy in it.
This doesn’t mean that we should suffer on the cross. That was for Jesus alone. Instead, this means that suffering for the gospel brings us closer to Jesus. Suffering doesn’t have to weaken our faith, it can actually serve to make it stronger.
