The Price We often pay
Sharing in Christ’s sufferings often seems a very high price to pay:
List some of the ways He suffered
Paul now hits us with the silver lining.
We may pay the price of suffering from time to time but compared to the FUTURE GLORY it is insignificant.
Romans (The Future Glory / 8:18-27)
I beg of you for the love and reverence of God our Lord to remember the past, and reflect not lightly but seriously that the earth is only the earth.—Ignatius
Loyola
This is like a Spiritual childbirth.
The birth of New Life and the future return of Christ
God made creation subject to death after the original sin, in hope of glory.
God doesn’t plan evil or suffering, but He allows it in order to bring glory out of it.
Why?
This is a mystery that we can;t and will no understand.
THE REAL WORLD
Christians see the world as it is—physically decaying and spiritually infected with sin.
But Christians do not need to be pessimistic, because they have hope for future glory.
They look forward to the new heaven and new earth that God has promised, and they wait for God’s new order that will free the world of sin, sickness, and evil.
In the meantime, Christians go with Christ into the world, where they heal people’s bodies and souls and fight the evil effects of sin.
Adopted or birthed or both?
CAN’T WAIT!
We keep looking in confidence for what we cannot see.
Our eager anticipation is like that of the person who drives all night and eagerly looks forward to the sunrise, when the mist and darkness will be driven away.
He knows it will happen and can’t wait.
His assurance of it carries him on.
We look forward to:
• Our new bodies.
• The new heaven and the new earth.
Rest and the rewards of service.
• Our eternal family and home.
• The absence of sin and suffering.
• Being face to face with Jesus Christ.
But are we really as patient as we should be?
As parents we make all sorts of promises with the anticipation of meeting them, but often those promises fall short.
Our heavenly Father has made many promises and and these will ALL come through.
But we need to wait not jump to conclusions.
As believers, we are not left to our own resources to cope with problems.
Even when we don’t know the right words to pray, the Holy Spirit prays with and for us, and God answers.
With God helping us pray, we don’t need to be afraid to come before him.
We simply ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for us “in accordance with God’s will.”
Then, when we bring our requests to God, we trust that he will always do what is best.
