What is true of the saint in whom the sufferings of Christ are abounding?

Back to Study the Book of Second Corinthians

His encouragement is abounding through Christ.
The more suffering there is the more comfort there is. The two go together. As we suffer we reign. We experience the power of Christ's resurrection as we share his sufferings. Mature saints have learned that when trouble increases the grace and Glory of God increase proportionally.
The martyr knows the comfort of Christ in a special way. This is one of the laws of the Kingdom of God. The warrior is given the hidden manna to eat.
If we would carry life to others we must be willing to be brought down to death.
