SERMON NOTES
“Jesus came to rescue sufferers”
Jesus entered suffering
Jesus’ suffering shows us that suffering is used by God
Jesus’ suffering shows us how to suffer
Jesus has infinite power to comfort us in our suffering
Practicing Advent: Spend some time this week in prayer bringing your suffering to God. Then, read the birth narrative (Luke 1-2) followed by the crucifixion narrative (Luke 22-23) and reflect on Jesus’ example in his suffering (1 Peter 2:20-25).
