Called to Suffer
Main Point: The Risen Christ calls us to be faithful in suffering for His Name even to the point of death. 1. Jesus knows our afflictions and poverty - yet says we are rich! 2. Jesus counsels us that we are not to fear the suffering by those who slander and persecute us, knowing they are servants of Satan. 3. Jesus commands us that we are to be faithful in suffering even to death because he has overcome it and so will we.
