suffering is part of d package of sacrificial christianity.superfluous christians may nt suffer bt those who want to make original contributions to the cause of christ will surely suffer much persecution and affliction. All over the world,persecution of true believers is increasing.this is d time to be stronger in d lord.after jesus had been properly revealed to his disciples,He told them about his impending suffering and death in plain language. Becos they have not fully understood his mission,peter forbids him to say such bt jesus immediately rebuked him and reminded him of Gods plan. He talkrd about his suffering as it was predicted in the suffering servant passageafter dis Jesus enlightened them that if they must follow him,they must be ready to suffer and pass through shame and reproach. As christian,whosoever is ready to follow christ must cease to make self the object of his or her life and must be ready to suffer or possibly die for the Lords sake. Following jesus, therefore, means:a true commitment.a taste of suffering, the risk of death,& no turning back.
