SERMON NOTES

Jesus came to rescue sufferers

Jesus entered suffering

Jesus suffering shows us that suffering is used by God

Jesus suffering shows us how to suffer

Jesus has infinite power to comfort us in our suffering

Practicing Advent: Spend some time this week in prayer bringing your suffering to God. Then, read the birth narrative (Luke 1-2) followed by the crucifixion narrative (Luke 22-23) and reflect on Jesus example in his suffering (1 Peter 2:20-25).
