9. To Bring us to Fellowship in Christ. To identify with Christ. To remind us of Christ suffering. To Be Worthy of The Crown of Life
Imagine teleporting back 2000 years to in front of the cross where Christ is at the moment being crucified. Does your suffering pain in comparison to his?
Romans 8:17 “we heirs of God, co-heirs of Christ, seeing that we might suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.”
Php 3:8 Because of HIm i have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that i may gain Christ and be found in Him. My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
Col 1:24 “Now i rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for His body, that is, the church.”

James 1:12-13 “A man who endures trials is blessed because when he passes the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. No one undergoing a trial should say I am being tempted by evil, for God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.”
