Why/How Jesus Said To Endure Suffering

Enduring Suffering as Christians: Lessons from Matthew 10

Join Reagan for a profound discussion on the theme of enduring suffering as Christians, grounded in Matthew chapter 10. Reagan addresses the worst kind of suffering, particularly the suffering of loved ones, and relates it to the unjust sufferings that Jesus foresaw for his disciples. By reading and dissecting Matthew 10:16-33, Reagan explores eight reasons Jesus gives us to endure suffering, including the promise of salvation, the temporary nature of suffering, and the ultimate vindication of faith. This insightful lesson not only provides theological insights but also practical encouragement for Christians facing trials today.
