"Suffering was not just a consequence of the Master's obedience and mission. It was the central strategy of his mission. It was the ground of his accomplishment. Jesus calls us to join him on the Calvary road, to take up our cross, and to hate our lives in this world, and fall into the ground like a seed and die, that others might live. We are not above our master. To be sure, our suffering does not atone for anyone's sins, but it is a deeper way of doing missions that we often realize." --John PiperI hope that after reading this you are more than willing to visit this site:
