Jesus Lets Us Partake in His Joy by Drinking the Cup of Sorrow with Him ㅡ

 “For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.”

 (2 Corinthians 1:5)

 Blessed are they also who weep with Jesus in sympathy with the world’s sorrow and in sorrow for its sin.

In such mourning there is intermingled no thought of self.

Jesus was the Man of Sorrows, enduring heart anguish such as no language can portray.

His spirit was torn and bruised by the transgressions of men.

He toiled with self-consuming zeal to relieve the wants and woes of humanity, and His heart was heavy with sorrow as He saw multitudes refuse to come to Him that they might have life.

All who are followers of Christ will share in this experience.

As they partake of His love they will enter into His travail for the saving of the lost.

They share in the sufferings of Christ, and they will share also in the glory that shall be revealed.

One with Him in His work, drinking with Him the cup of sorrow, they are partakers also of His joy.
