“The Dispensation of the Mystery — Part 3: The Fullness of Christ’s Supply Given to Us for Our Empowering”

Finishing our three part miniseries on the fullness of God under grace revealed through Paul, today our subject is “The Fullness of Christ’s Supply Given to Us for Our Empowering”.  It is appointed for all believers to suffer for his sake - Phil. 1:29.  God will arrange the circumstances of this and then we shall have the privilege to enter into those sufferings knowing there are for Christ’s sake and they are for his ultimate glory.  He is intimately connected to us as head of the Body church and suffers when we do.  To recognize that we may willingly suffer these trials for his glory is most blessed and encouraging.  We are thereby strengthened with his mighty power to endure these sufferings and to do so with great joy.As we do so the resurrection life of Christ is manifest in our mortal bodies or all to see.  We are thereby energized for the endurance needed for such a journey as this.  It is a promise of God.  Amen.
