2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4
Blessed by GOD, even the Father of our LORD JESUS Christ, the Father of mercies, and the GOD of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble, by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of GOD.
FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERING
Yes, in this life we will have trouble, but the redemption of our trouble comes in the form of ministry to others. GOD receives the glory whether we suffer or are delivered from our suffering. This is the whole reason for our life and the life of the Church, of which we are a part, TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD.
It is amazing how the LORD will take the things that the devil throws at us and turns them into blessings for us and for others. The devil has plans to hurt and harm the children of GOD; BUT GOD IS GREATER, when we are in Him, no weapon that is formed against us will prevail.
JESUS suffered for the redemption of the world; if we suffer, we are in fellowship with the sufferings of Christ, therefore, we know that we will be resurrected from the suffering just like JESUS was resurrected from the dead. "What a fellowship! What a joy Divine! Leaning on the everlasting Arm."
Church is the fellowship of believers in JESUS; Church is fellowship with JESUS.
WE ARE THE CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD WHO DWELLS IN US AND WE IN HIM.
