Theme: The joy of suffering for Jesus allows us to stand strong in grace. There is reason for everything in our life, both good and bad, and that is to glorify God. Our reactions to suffering determine our joy and it confirms that we are in Jesus. The joy of suffering for Jesus can only come by applying the Gospel. God purifies and refines His family through suffering. This way we know we are in Him and there is the joy of becoming more like the Son, Jesus Christ.
