We need a new perspective on suffering

Romans 8; 1 Peter 2

1. Suffering doesn't mean it's warm (God's on your side)

2. Suffering is the only path to glory

3. Real love causes us to suffer

In our "me" first culture, sacrificial love is counterculture

Mark 1:1-12

liminality - going far outside the limits of your comfort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liminality)

We can't grow until we are pushed out of our limits

Even Jesus was sent into the wilderness
