REASON #2 of 26 Reasons Father and Jesus Let Their Own Children Suffer In This Life. Father allows His children to suffer in this world so that all of the Host in Heaven, all the angels, cherubim and seraphim; so that all the evil powers, evil principalities, evil rulers of darkness and the spiritual hosts of wickedness; and so that all saints of all time may GLORIFY God for the MAJESTY AND WONDER OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS OWN WHEN THEY SUFFER, THAT JESUS IS SALVATION IN ALL SUFFERING, THE SAVIOR WHO IS ALL SUFFICIENT TO SAVE, PRESERVE, DELIVER, SHEPHERD AND COMFORT FAITHFULLY HIS OWN WHO LOVE AND SERVE HIM, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM AND THEIR LOVED ONES. The GLORY of God, His kind Love, His liberating Truth, His everlasting Life, His enlightening Light and His most excellent Way are the greatest wonder and marvel of all time in the whole universe. The suffering is allowed to show all the GLORY of this all-surpassing Love and Power of the Most High God, the manifold wisdom of God, the knowledge of the GLORY of the Love of God in the person, Life and work of Christ. ***2 Timothy 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Almighty God, our Father in Heaven Loves the unseen spirit beings and visible human beings so much that He wants them to learn as much as is possible about Him and know the GLORY of His Love and His beloved Son, Jesus. Its almost like a loving father doing many things to help his beloved children get to know and understand him better so that there could be a greater breadth and depth to the Love they share. When His children suffer in this world and let Him work and will in them and through their suffering, then His working, willing and shepherding of them through the suffering reveals the manifold wisdom of God and the wonder of His great Love for His children in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord. We learn how much He Loves us by the Way He Loves us, how He is faithful to not allow us to be tested or disciplined under scrutiny above what we are enabled by His Spirit to bear, but with the testing by adversity also will make a way to for us to be delivered from/through the trial - even if necessary by death, so that we may be able to bear it for our good and His GLORY. (1 Cor 10:13; Phil 2:13; 4:13; Heb 13:20,21). ALL CAPS ARE MINE FOR EMPHASIS ***John 21:19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he [Peter] would GLORIFY God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.” ***John 11: 1 A man named Lazarus, who lived in Bethany, became sick. Bethany was the village of Mary and her sister Martha.. 2 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.3 So the sisters sent a message to Him: Lord, the one You love is sick. 4 When Jesus heard it, he said, The final result of this sickness will not be the death of Lazarus; this has happened in order to bring GLORY to God, and it will be the means by which the Son of God will receive GLORY. . . . 13 However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 So Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus is dead,15 but for your sake I am glad that I was not with him, so that you will believe. Let us go to him. . . . 40 Jesus said to her, Didnt I tell you that you would see Gods GLORY if you believed?41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked up and said, I thank you, Father, that you listen to me.42 I know that you always listen to me, but I say this for the sake of the people here, so that they will believe that You sent me. . . . 17:1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour is come; GLORIFY Your Son, that Your Son may GLORIFY You; 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that all that You have given to Him, He should give them Life eternal. . . . 4 I have GLORIFIED [You] on the earth, I have completed the work which You gave Me that I should do it; 5 and now GLORIFY [Me,] Father, along with Yourself, with the GLORY which I had along with You before the world was . . . 22 And the GLORY which You have given Me I have given them, that they may be one, as We are one; . . . 24 Father, those whom You have given Me, I desire that where I am they also may be with Me, that they may behold My GLORY which You have given Me, for You loved Me before foundation of world. ***Eph 3:8 To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ, 9 and to ENLIGHTEN ALL with the knowledge of what is the administration and fellowship of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things through Jesus Christ, 10 in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavens might be MADE KNOWN through the assembly the all-various and manifold wisdom of God, 11 according to the eternal purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord, . . . . [Capitalization is mine for emphasis] ***2 Cor 4:7 But we have this Treasure in jars of clay TO SHOW that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also BE REVEALED in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus sake, so that His Life may BE REVEALED in our mortal body. [Capitalization is mine for emphasis] *** Heb 12: 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great A CLOUD OF WITNESSES, we should lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and we should run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. NKJV [Capitalization is mine for emphasis] Our graves are simply the places where our Temples (1 Corinth 6:19) are stored until it is time for them to be raised, transformed (1Corinth 15:52) and reunited with our souls and spirits (Romans 8:23) In the Kingdom of God.
