| The Sufferings of Christ |
| “Christ also suffered for us”(1 Peter 2:21). |
| “Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead” (Acts 17:3). |
| “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory” (Luke 24:26)? |
| What a profound meditation it is to consider the sufferings of Christ! And not just the sufferings of Christ at the hand of wicked, sinful human beings, but those atoning sufferings when He, “bare our sins in His own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24). I don’t believe we will ever fully understand what those sufferings must have meant to the Holy One, nor will we ever fathom the depth and intensity of those sufferings. “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). |
Oh that we never might forget
What Christ has suffered for our sake
To save our souls and make us meet
Of all His glory to partake;
But keeping this in mind, press on.
To glory and the victor’s crown!
