Rewards for Christian Suffering

Eternal Consolation.

2 Corinthians 1:7 

And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

Life to others

2 Corinthians 4:15 

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

God’s Love

Jesus did not come to make God’s love possible, but to make God’s love visible.

Evangelism

“Why should anyone hear the Gospel Twice before Everyone has heard it once?

 Try Again

“We worked hard all night and caught nothing.”  Luke 5:5

Do you know the feeling of a sleepless, fishless night? Of course you do. For what have you been casting? . . .

Faith? “I want to believe, but . . .”

Healing? “I’ve been sick so long . . .”

A happy marriage? “No matter what I do . . .”

You’ve sat where Peter sat. And now Jesus is asking you to go fishing. He knows your nets are empty. He knows your heart is weary . . . But he urges, “It’s not too late to try again.”
