[Discoveries] 11-28-07 What we add -- Colossians 1:24

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's 
afflictions. -- Colossians 1:24*/

/(Continued from yesterday.) /

What is lacking?

Let me suggest that two answers:

1. Contact. None of us wants to suffer, but our suffering grabs the 
complacency of this world by the throat and demands a response. Some 
cannot yet measure by the cross, but they can measure love by the price 
we pay.

2. Participation. Every time we lay down our wants and say, "Not my will 
but Yours be done," we enter into fellowship with the Christ who died 
for us. Jesus suffered alone. But, because He suffered, we will never 
suffer alone. And His entrance into our sufferings changes us forever.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
