We could sum up the themes of our passage this way then. We could say it is first of all about responding to suffering. Responding to suffering. Then secondly, it’s about remembering sovereignty. Responding to suffering. Remembering sovereignty; the sovereignty of God amidst our trials. And thirdly, it’s about resting on the Savior. Responding to suffering. Remembering sovereignty. Resting on the Savior. Actually, I would argue those three themes together provide us a kind of tool kit to face down these dark days with bright hope and a resolve to love others well with the Gospel. Responding to suffering. Remembering sovereignty. Resting on the Savior.
