How Jesus Think Of Sufferings

 1-2 Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want.

– 1 Peter 4:1-2

The Message Version (MSG)

耶穌如何看待苦難

1-2 既然耶穌所經歷的一切痛苦,遠超過我們所經歷的,我們就應效法祂的榜樣。將你的苦難視為與舊的罪行斷絕的機會,使自己不再偏行己路。這樣,你就能過一個自由釋放的生活,用心追求神的旨意,而非受自己慾望的轄制。

—彼得前書四章1-2節
