Title: Suffering / 1 Thessalonians 3:1-8
Have you ever experienced hardship in your life? Suffering or suffering is an enemy to most people. For suffering becomes an intruder, an adversary, and a thief, taking from the very person who suffered it the things that were useful to him. But on the other hand, have you ever thought of suffering as a friend that brings you good? Suffering can also become a friend who allows you to hear God's message in an uncomfortable environment. As we go through this affliction, we need to think about whether we really want to grow, rather than just lamenting and screaming.
I. Suffering is inevitable.
In the book of Job, it is said that those born of women have suffering, which is like a spark flying upward, and it speaks of the universality of suffering. Indeed, we can see in the Bible that suffering is inevitable.
II. Suffering is essential.
Ⅲ. biblical example
In conclusion, suffering as Christians is necessary and not unfair. The hardships of the military are not strange, but expected. Therefore, we should be able to learn the lessons and benefits that God wants to give us through this suffering. Dear brothers and sisters, in this difficult time, let us learn a lesson by looking at the fact that suffering is inevitable and essential. And, like Timothy, we hope that we will be of fellowship, sharing the beautiful love of the saints, who strengthen and encourage them, helping them not to be shaken in tribulation.
