Synopsis

Jesus told His friends that “in this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33). And it is certainly no less true for His disciples today. Jesus was without sin, was perfect and never ever did anything wrong…yet He cried, shed tears, “shrank from the horrors,” and “learned obedience through what He suffered.” He moved through suffering in perfect submission as a pattern of what our life should look like when He, living in us, is allowed to live that perfect life of obedience through the suffering allowed by our Heavenly Father. In the middle of suffering, pain, sorrow, fear, chaos, hurt and more, how is it possible to obey the Lord’s commands to not fear, not fret, not worry, not be anxious, not doubt, trust, rest, be still, wait, stand, and even rejoice? It is only possible because of Jesus, and with the faith that He lived (Galatians 2:20 KJV), gives, develops and expands in us and through us. The secret to suffering well (and isn’t that a paradoxical term!) is to keep one’s eyes, one’s focus and one’s heart always upon Christ, upon the heart of God, upon His complete and infinite involvement in every detail of our lives. This book uses the writings of those who have lived before us and have experienced suffering and victory through their own lives because of Christ in them, the hope of glory.
