How do love and suffering connect? Do we have to suffer if we love? How do we reconcile Jesus’ love and His suffering? In today’s Scriptures, we hear how the Apostle Paul and his companions suffered, and how they were then filled with joy as a result. How does that happen? We know Jesus suffered and loved, and so then the Apostles did as well. What does that mean for us?
