 In Our Afflictions Christ is Afflicted with Us ㅡ 

  “For thus said the LORD of hosts; After the glory has he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye.”  (Zechariah 2:8) 

  In all our afflictions, Jesus was afflicted. The Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering.

 In this life we shall be proved whether we bear the test of God. When Satan’s temptations come, we shall have a trial.

 Shall we be overcome by the bewitching power of Satan or shall we overcome Satan’s temptations as Christ overcame them?

 Shall we have the mind stored with the heavenly treasures of truth, that we may be enabled to meet the adversary of souls with “It is written” as did Christ, and not with any of our impetuous speeches?

  Troublous times are before us, but this is not to worry us. To be worried is to be unbelieving, but Christ invites you saying, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” 

  (Christ Triumphant 164)
