Perseverance Through Suffering – BTEp23

Biblical Talks

When one hears the word suffering, we can agree it is synonymous with illness. Even though people experience suffering in other ways. In this episode Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss perseverance through suffering. Thus, the main passage referenced is Luke 22:39-46 New Living Translation.

Specifically, the Apostle Luke takes us to the Mt. of Olives. He describes what took place before Jesus of Nazareth's arrest and crucifixion. Jesus knew He was about to endure tremendous suffering. So much so, that He fervently prayed asking Father God if there was another way to redeem mankind. Jesus ended His prayer with, "Not my will but Your will be done."

Now, what can we learn from this? Put very simply, we see that even Jesus cried out to the Father when He was under severe stress and suffering. Let's be clear -- nothing we would ever go through could ever compare to what Jesus went through. By no means does that negate that life sometimes brings unbearable suffering. And we find ourselves crying out to God to take the suffering away. All and all, we've learned that Jesus submitted to God's purpose and plan.

With that in mind, here are a couple questions for you. Have you read The Gospel of Luke? If so -- what are your thoughts? If not, no worries, we've got you covered. In any case, join us with your Bible or Bible app.
