Believers must expect suffering
It a part of the Christian life.
There is no other way to look at it.
From the beatuded
From the Sermon on the mount to the writing of Paul it is clear that we are to expect suffering and trials.
Illustration of expectations - Top Thrill Dragster - you are warned for two hours while waiting in line and via multiple signs what to expect.
You even see the ride itself.
could you imagine someone after all that saying I can believe that ride was a drop of 100 ft and was too scary.
Some people get bitter and negative over trial even thought they were warned.
The following questions are designed to help us “consider” in the day of adversity:
(1) How am I responding to it?
(2) How should I respond to it?
(3) Am I learning from it?
(4) Does my response demonstrate faith, love for God and for others, Christ-like character, values, commitment, priorities, etc.?
(5) How can God use it in my life?
There is always a cost to taking up your cross.
Perhaps it is a strained relationship with a family member due to your faith, or perhaps it is the hard decision of going against the rest of the crowd at school or work or with your friends.
