We can’t always understand the “why” or know “how long” we must suffer during hard times, but Jesus’ resurrection reminds us that we can trust God to work out the behind-the-scenes details.
我們在困難時期,總是不能理解「為什麼」或者知道我們必須忍受「多久」,但耶穌的複活提醒我們,愛我們的上帝掌管一切,我們可以信任祂。
He had a bigger plan for Jesus’ suffering (our redemption), and He has a greater plan for our suffering too (to develop endurance and to perfect our character)
上帝對耶穌受苦,有一個更大的計劃,(為了救贖罪人的我們);祂對我們的痛苦也有更大的計劃,(為了培養耐力並使我們的品格趨於完全)!
(James 1:2-4) 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, 2 when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
雅各1:2我的弟兄們,你們落在百般試煉中,都要以為大喜樂;3因為知道你們的信心經過試驗,就生忍耐。4但忍耐也當成功,使你們成全、完備,毫無缺欠。
Jesus’ resurrection is such a wonderful assurance of this truth. How glorious that we get to remind our family always that He is able to turn our trials into triumph!
耶穌的復活是這個真理的絕佳保證。我們時時可以信心的提醒我們的家人,上帝必終將我們承受的試煉變成榮耀的勝利!
