Think, Focus, Learn

 (ID: 3036)

Some things are easy to understand. Other things require some thinking on our part before we grasp what we’re reading or hearing. In his final letter, the apostle Paul called Timothy to this kind of reflection with regard to suffering for the sake of the Gospel. Alistair Begg points out how we can come to a correct understanding of suffering in our own lives: as we think biblically and focus on Jesus, we can learn to face difficulties in the strength and wisdom that He provides.

7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

8Remember Jesus Christ, hrisen from the dead, the ioffspring of David, jas preached in my gospel, 9kfor which I am suffering, lbound with chains as a criminal. But mthe word of God is not bound! 10Therefore nI endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain othe salvation that is in Christ Jesus with peternal glory.
