Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
The healthy adult mind places significant value on the discipline which is required for a healthy, wholesome, and functional lifestyle. The common person tends to reject reproach, rebuking, and chastisement, but given the option to reject these is conducive of dysfunctional patterns of behavior. We do not naturally prefer discipline; it is acquired ability and an adult mentality that allow us to understand the long-term effects of humiliation in respect to God's extended plans and designs.
