Many people think that being like Christ only means being nice to other people, not hurting other peoples feelings, not showing anger, not breaking the Ten Commandments, living holy, praying, etc. One of the things that we rarely think about when it comes to being Christ-like is HOW to handle suffering..... Nobody wants to talk about that! Mostly because people speak that you dont have to suffer or endure things. But the Bible is pretty clear on this point. There is a way to handle suffering, to handle embarrassment, to handle persecution, to handle being oppressed, and to handle being hurt. To be like Christ, you must learn how to handle suffering. Suffering is not always just about being in pain, rather, in the Bible this word often carries the connotation of endurance. Enduring things that are not always favorable to you and your desires. Things that oppose your peace, sanity, your flow, or plans. But be encouraged, understanding that the sufferings of this present life are not able to compare to the glory that will be revealed in us!!
