Consider the example of one disciple of Jesus, who
counted it an honor to suffer for Christ:
2
Corinthians 11:23-30 -- "Are they servants of
Christ? (I speak as if insane) I more so; in far
more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times
without number, often in danger of death. Five times
I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three
times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned,
three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I
have spent in the deep. I have been on frequent
journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from
robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from
the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the
wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false
brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through
many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often
without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such
external things, there is the daily pressure upon me
of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without
my being weak? Who is led into sin without my
intense concern? If I have to boast, I will boast of
what pertains to my weakness. (NAS) |
