Suffering For Christ -2 Corinthians 12: 10
To follow Christ is to bear hardship
being insulted persecuted feeling weak
suffer calamities among other things
in the midst of this we remain meek
In all of this we are content
living for Christ for our savour's sake
being willing to follow Him
bearing His cross we gladly take
In all of this we're more than conquerers
realising that Jesus paid our price
taking all of our sin on His body
this accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ
What is such suffering on this earth?
for our short time here
when our future is eternally secure
being strong in Christ abiding near
AUTHOR NOTES: 'For the sake of Christ, then I am content with weaknesses,
insults, hardships, persecutions and calamities. For when I am weak then I am
strong.' 2 Corinthians 12 v. 10
