After reading the crucification passage from Luke 23 and the post-resurrection encounters in Luke 24, the Holy Spirit refreshed me with the words from this song, which I've come to love and cherish... It helped me feel the warmth and nearness of our Lord in a real sense... Christian, Don't forget to remember Him.
If we who confess to be Christians can be brought to the full understanding of what CHRIST did at Calvary. No one would have a reason to complain over anything. Every trial we face is GOD's love to perfect our characters. Paul wrote "We are troubled on every side, YET not distressed; we are perplexed, BUT not in despair; Persecuted, BUT not forsaken; cast down, BUT not destroyed. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, YET the inward man is renewed day by day. For our LIGHT afflictions, which is but for a MOMENT, worketh for us a far more exceeding and ETERNAL WEIGHT of glory. While we look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen aare etetnal." 2 Cor.4:7-9, 16-18 so I crown the KING of my life.... "Thine shall the glory be!" what I experience here as the greatest trials cannot be compared with what JESUS went through at Calvary. What kind of love was that displayed on the cross and lifted high on a hill.
The testimony of Jennie Hussey (shared by the other comment), is such a picture of dying daily, and living to Him! We should treasure the opportunities given to us to bear His Cross rather than complain in this life. Only He can supply us through all of our trials, but the experience of the Cross will truly bring forth fruit for eternity.
