Video Notes:

• Once again, we speak of suffering, though this time not at the hands of other people.
• The life of the Christian is, in many ways, a life of suffering. It’s a life of the cross.
• Also, once again, our example is Jesus.
• We should be like Jesus who, though tempted, did not sin. Hebrews 4:15-16
• We should arm ourselves in the same mindset as Christ, who gladly suffered for us.
• What does it mean to suffer in the flesh? What is the flesh?
• Yes, we may suffer physically, but we also suffer by denying our sinful nature (desires, doctrines, etc.). Thus, to suffer in the flesh is to cease from sin.
• Thus the life of the Christian is the life of the cross, a constant battle to subdue the flesh.
