Could there not be an easier way to learn how to minister
to people? It seems like the way of the servant of the Lord
is full of obstacles and pain.
Paul says that he is learning to receive comfort in his
times of trials in order to pass the same comfort to those
who face similar problems. II Cor.1:3-4
We don’t need to become alcoholics in order to understand
their problems, but we need to agree to glorify God in all
circumstances.
Maybe this dilemma started in heaven,
when the plan of incarnation was made known to the angels.
I can hear them asking, is there no other way?
Could God not save the mankind with a less painful effort?
He did not. He could not?
No life comes forth without dying.
God’s way leads us daily to a place of death
in order for the new life to be born in others.
No wonder so few are interested in following him.
“For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’
sake , that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our
mortal flesh.” II Cor.4:11
