  • R. D. Mattock on Philippians 3 - 11 years ago
    That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
    Before we can really appreciate the victory that we have in Jesus Christ, because of His resurrection, we need to fully comprehend and understand the amount of suffering He went through on our behalf and the great price that He paid for our victory.

    Matthew's gospel, in Chapters 26 & 27, gives us a detailed description of the suffering that Jesus went through for us.
    1. He was betrayed by one of His disciples.
    2. He suffered an agonizing night in the garden of Gethsemane.
    3. He watched as one of his most beloved and loyal disciples denied Him three times.
    4. He faced the Sanhedrin where the chief priests and elders rejected His testimony.
    5. He endured the crucifixion and the nailing to the cross.
    6. The greatest price He probably paid was that of being rejected for a time by His own Heavenly Father when He cried out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me".
    The Book of Isaiah gives us a vivid account of the suffering that Jesus would go through because of the sins of mankind.

    Isaiah 53:1-7
