When Jesus told His disciples of the suffering He would experience, Peter rebuked Him by saying, “Never, Lord. This shall not happen to You.”

On that point, Jesus made a distinction between God’s concerns and human concerns.  He implied that it was God’s will that He suffer. Humans don’t want suffering. The suffering of Christ would pave the way for our salvation, our healing, our forgiveness.

God;s path may include suffering, but it will yield His ETERNAL RESULTS and benefits. Christ Jesus will be with you each step of the way. It’s a narrow way, but leads to eternal life.
