The power of Christ is seen when He uses our suffering to bless us. 1. Christ uses our suffering to reveal to us our spiritual condition. (v.1-5) 2. Christ uses our suffering to keep us humble. (v.6-8) 3. Christ uses our suffering to display His grace and power. (v.9-10) Why would a Christian experience weakness? How does God accomplish His will in us? Gen. 50:20 When is the power of darkness felt? Luke 22:53 Who are more than conquerors? Rom. 8:37
