Love Jesus 13

Excerpt from “Sufferings Reveals the Goodness of the Father,” by Joni Erickson Tada. Full article here.

Hebrews 2:10 states: “In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God… should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.”

In other words, if God is to bring us to glory—and he is, he will—then he’ll do with us as he did with Jesus. He’ll make us like Christ as he makes us holy through suffering.

If Jesus, the author of our salvation, was made perfect through his many afflictions, it is fitting that we should be also. We are being made holy for heaven.

And as the old Puritan said, “just two minutes in heaven will more than offset, it’ll compensate for all the pain and suffering we struggled with on earth.
