The Triumph of the Cross

Jesus' apparent failure on the Cross is in reality a great victory.  His suffering was necessary for his glorification and for our salvation.  As Christians, our suffering is similarly necessary.  It is a means of purification, sanctification, and co-redemption.   Living through trials lovingly and prayerfully can teach us tremendous lessons about God and ourselves.  Like Christ, the trusting acceptance of our crosses becomes a great victory over sin and selfishness.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com
