Of His Sufferingpain; agony; distress; misery; torment; affliction • Romans 8:17 • II Cor. 1:5 • Acts 20:23 • Suffering belongs to the discipline of all Christ's followers • Scripture Ref: Romans 8:17 2 Corinthians 1:7 Galatians 3:4 Philippians 3:10 1 Thessalonians 2:2 2 Thessalonians 1:5 2 Timothy 2:12; 2 Timothy 3:12 James 5:10 1 Peter 2:20; 1 Peter 3:14, 17; 4:1, 13, 16; 5:10). Such suffering is called a suffering for God's or Christ's sake (Jeremiah 15:15 Acts 9:16 Philippians 1:29 2 Timothy 1:12). This fellowship in suffering unites us with the saints of God in all times (James 5:10), and is indeed a fellowship with the Lord Himself (Philippians 3:10), who uses this discipline to mold us more and more according to His character.
