 There were other sufferings which the saints are permitted to share with Him to be despised, to be rejected, to suffer for love and truth, as well as for righteousness.

 “The glad tidings of the grace of God.” This appears to be the most comprehensive title given to it in scripture. --Elsewhere the Apostle speaks of it as "the gospel of the glory of Christ," where its heavenly side is meant to be made prominent. --Again, he speaks of it as “the gospel of God,” where its source in divine love is pointed to. --Furthermore we hear of “the gospel of Christ,” where He is in view through whom alone the glad tidings become possible from God to man. --In the Gospels we hear of “The gospel of the kingdom,” looking on to Messiah in power and glory: --in the Revelation, of the “everlasting gospel,” the revelation of the bruised Seed bruising the Serpent’s head. (Acts 20:22-27 by W. Kelly)
