Suffering and Glory

Day 29 — Suffering and Glory

“If we suffer with him, we may also be glorified with him.” — Romans 8:17

In Epistle to the Romans 8, Paul reminds believers that following Christ includes suffering.

Jesus suffered first.

Then came resurrection and glory.

Discipleship does not promise an easy road.

2 Timothy 3:12 says all who desire to live godly lives will face challenges.

But suffering is not the end. Romans 8:18 says present sufferings are not worth comparing with future glory.

Hope strengthens endurance.

• Suffering connects us to Christ.

• Glory follows faithfulness.

• Hope anchors us in trials.

Are you surprised when following Jesus feels hard?

Discipleship stays steady because it looks beyond the present.

Lord, give me courage to follow You through difficulty.

Encourage someone who is suffering with hope from Scripture.
