Revelation Lesson 18 - Perseverance in Suffering (BSF HQ Global Lecture)

Revelation Lesson 18 Suffering is not only what humanity does, suffering has it's roots in God's love for us. He suffers our rejection and rebellion. He suffers by giving up His Son, the perfect Lamb of God, in order that by His love for lost humanity, we might be saved, redeemed, and receive eternal life through the Son. We persevere in suffering because we experience God's sustaining power when times look their worst and most anxiously out of our control. And our future hope as described in Revelation is God's elimination sin's suffering through the victory and restoration of all Creation in His New Kingdom (Rev 21:4).
