PHOTO: Reflect on why pain and suffering are part of life, and especially of Christian discipleship.
When I was a youth, I came across a story of a king who welcomed his battle-weary sailors home after they had fought valiantly to defend their country. They returned in their badly battered ships and lined up to be received by their king. They stood tall, some missing an eye, other a limb, and many more bearing various injuries and bandages. With tears in his eyes, the king embraced each of them.
If a less than perfect earthly king can welcome his faithful and valiant soldiers in this deeply moving way, how much more will the perfect heavenly King welcome home His faithful saints?
In his old age, Paul had a battered body, carrying the marks of his various trials and sufferings (Galatians 6:17) that had failed to deter him from standing up for Jesus and obeying Him. In his last epistle, he wrote to Timothy, reminding him of his many suffering for Christ. In particular, he referred to what he endured in Lystra, Timothy's home town.
There Paul had been stoned by a mob and dragged outside the city; everyone thought he was dead. Paul must have lain motionless after suffering this severe, hate-filled stoning instigated by his Jewish enemies. The disciples probably gathered around the still figure of the apostle, praying for him. Amazingly, Paul (most likely bleeding wounds and all) "got up and went back into the city" (Acts 14:20). Such tenacity (determination) and endurance in the face of violence must have left a deep impression on the young Timothy, who is reminded by the ageing apostle of the "persecutions I endured" (2 Timothy 3:11).
Instead of complaining that God was "unkind" to him, Paul readily offered thanks when recollecting his many sufferings: "Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them" (2 Timothy 3:11). Paul was eager to talk about God's kindness amidst his hardships. Such was his character. Upon reflecting deeply about all the pain he had to endure, Paul had this to say: "We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4). Paul was convinced that no pain or suffering comes our way without God's permission, and that in God's economy, no pain is wasted or meaningless. The sufferer is eventually the victor, who gains what cannot be gained otherwise. Christian character helps one endure suffering, and this in turn deepens Christian character.
Paul did not say much about his pain and disabilities arising from the many injuries sustained during the course of faithful ministry. Many scholars believe Paul had eye problems, and perhaps that was the thorn in the flesh he referred to in 2 Corinthians 12:7 (see also Galatians 4:13-15; 6:11). Also, tradition says that he was bow-legged and disfigured because of his injuries. But in the midst of it all, he was thankful to God because his sufferings enabled him to grow in Christlikeness. He was determined to become better, not bitter.
How has your own experience been in this area, and how do you feel about it?
As we age, we also collect many wounds and scars. These are our spiritual medals of honour, if they were received for the sake of Christ. They take the form of social or psychological suffering, giving up a lucrative career, or simply becoming chronically ill because we went to some remote area to spread the fragrance of Christ. As a result, our suffering may grow more pronounced in old age, adding to the normal aches that come with advancing years.
Why do some suffer more than others? We do not know the answers to such questions, but instead of trying to find answers, we must offer our love and understanding. Those who feel that they have been "selected" to suffer more than the rest must stop comparing themselves with others and indulging in self-pity.
The Lord Jesus, when asked by Peter about John after Jesus revealed to Peter how he would suffer, told him simply, "You must follow me" (John 21:22). Each disciple has his own path to walk, carefully chosen by the Lord with all His wisdom and love. Whether we have more pain or less, we must stay on the path and be faithful to the Lord till the end.

Paul did not say much about his pain and disabilities arising from the many injuries sustained during the course of faithful ministry. Many scholars believe Paul had eye problems, and perhaps that was the thorn in the flesh he referred to in 2 Corinthians 12:7 (see also Galatians 4:13-15; 6:11). Also, tradition says that he was bow-legged and disfigured because of his injuries. But in the midst of it all, he was thankful to God because his sufferings enabled him to grow in Christlikeness. He was determined to become better, not bitter.

How has your own experience been in this area, and how do you feel about it? [1]
As we age, we also collect many wounds and scars. These are our spiritual medals of honour, if they were received for the sake of Christ. They take the form of social or psychological suffering, giving up a lucrative career, or simply becoming chronically ill because we went to some remote area to spread the fragrance of Christ. As a result, our suffering may grow more pronounced in old age, adding to the normal aches that come with advancing years.

Why do some suffer more than others? We do not know the answers to such questions, but instead of trying to find answers, we must offer our love and understanding. Those who feel that they have been "selected" to suffer more than the rest must stop comparing themselves with others and indulging in self-pity.

The Lord Jesus, when asked by Peter about John after Jesus revealed to Peter how he would suffer, told him simply, "You must follow me" (John 21:22). Each disciple has his own path to walk, carefully chosen by the Lord with all His wisdom and love. Whether we have more pain or less, we must stay on the path and be faithful to the Lord till the end.

We came across a story of a king who welcomed his battle-weary sailors home after they had fought valiantly to defend their country. They returned in their badly battered ships and lined up to be received by their king. They stood tall, some missing an eye, other a limb, and many more bearing various injuries and bandages. With tears in his eyes, the king embraced each of them.
If a less than perfect earthly king can welcome his faithful and valiant soldiers in this deeply moving way, the perfect heavenly King will do much more to welcome home His faithful saints.
In the Bible we learn that Paul in his old age had a battered body, carrying the marks of his various trials and sufferings that had failed to deter him from standing up for Jesus and obeying Him. In his last epistle, he wrote to Timothy, reminding him of his many suffering for Christ. In particular, he referred to what he endured in Lystra, Timothy's home town.
There Paul had been stoned by a mob and dragged outside the city; everyone thought he was dead. Paul must have lain motionless after suffering this severe, hate-filled stoning instigated by his Jewish enemies. The disciples probably gathered around the still figure of the apostle, praying for him. Amazingly, Paul (most likely bleeding wounds and all) ‘got up and went back into the city’. Such tenacity and endurance in the face of violence must have left a deep impression on the young Timothy, who was reminded by the ageing apostle of the ‘persecutions he endured'.
We pray that we too would have such tenacity and endurance when met with such danger and violence.
Lord, help us to be like Paul who Instead of complaining that God was ‘unkind’ to him, Paul readily offered thanks when recollecting his many sufferings: Similarly, we too have pain and suffering throughout our live and would like to be like him, able to said that ‘yet the Lord rescued us from all of them’. We pray that we are eager to talk about God's kindness amidst our hardships. Help us upon reflecting deeply about all the pain we had to endure, be able to say: ‘We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope’.
Lord, help us to be like Paul, are convince that no pain or suffering comes our way without God's permission, and that in God's economy, no pain is wasted or meaningless. The sufferer is eventually the victor, who gains what cannot be gained otherwise. We pray that our Christian character help us to endure suffering, and this in turn deepens our Christian character.
Help us in the midst of it all, to be thankful to God because our sufferings enabled us to grow in Christlikeness. Help us to be determined to become better, not bitter.
We learn that as we age, we also collect many wounds and scars. These are our spiritual medals of honour, if they were received for the sake of Christ. They take the form of social or psychological suffering, giving up a lucrative career, or simply becoming chronically ill because we went to some remote area to spread the fragrance of Christ. As a result, our suffering may grow more pronounced in old age, adding to the normal aches that come with advancing years.
Some suffer more than others, which we do not know why. Lord, help us instead of trying to find answers, we must offer our love and understanding. Help us who feel that we have been ‘selected’ to suffer more than the rest to stop comparing ourselves with others and indulging in self-pity.
Every disciple has his own path to walk, carefully chosen by the Lord with all His wisdom and love. Help us, whether we have more pain or less, we must stay on the path and be faithful to the Lord till the end.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
