Sharing His Sufferings
Romans 8:17
Romans 8:17
“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.”
Insight
Sharing in Christ's glory requires sharing in His sufferings. You can't have resurrection without crucifixion. You can't wear the crown without carrying the cross. This isn't about earning salvation—you're already an heir. It's about fully experiencing Christ. Suffering for righteousness connects you to Jesus in profound ways. Don't run from it. Share in His sufferings, knowing glory follows.
Reflection
What suffering are you experiencing that connects you to Christ? How does this suffering prepare you for sharing His glory?
