Jesus in the Suffering| Pastor Landon Pickering

When life gets hard, why keep following Jesus?In Jesus in the Suffering, we explore Hebrews 2–5 and discover how the identity and work of Jesus give us strength to endure hardship without losing faith.The book of Hebrews was written to weary believers whose faith was costing them something. Rather than minimizing their suffering, the author gives them a greater vision of Jesus—because the bigger our view of Jesus becomes, the stronger our endurance will be.Through this message, we are reminded that:Jesus became one of us and can identify with our suffering.We must guard our hearts from becoming hardened through hardship.Because Jesus is our great High Priest, we can confidently approach God’s throne of grace and receive mercy and help in our time of need.Suffering is not less painful for the Christian, but it is more hopeful. Jesus is not distant from our pain. He has experienced suffering, He is present with us within it, and He is interceding for us through it.What hardship, burden, or suffering do you need to bring before the throne of God today?
