We all go through things in life where we have the best of intentions and wind up feeling the heat, when it seems that no one is there to join us or even have our back, and we realize we have stepped into something that really stinks and we don’t want to do it anymore. We find ourselves suffering and we lack the endurance to keep going.
It can be parenting, it can be a job, it can be a conversation with a friend, it can be marriage, it can be the decision to leave church, it can be the decision to come to church.
And the thing is, in our lives and in these days, suffering is not going away. The question for the follower of Jesus is not how we can avoid suffering. If you are listening today hoping all your troubles will go away you will be disappointed. Ask the people around you. Following Jesus doesn’t mean less suffering. It often means more...especially the more we look like Jesus. And the question followers of Jesus should be asking is not how we can avoid suffering but how we can learn to suffer well.
Today Pastor Jason continues our sermon series FOLLOW in the Gospel of Mark, preaching a message titled The Example of Endurance.
