The all-powerful Son of God came to serve and to suffer; God expects Christians to suffer for the name of Jesus.

   • Mark 9:30-32
   • Mark 9:35
   • Mark 10:32-34
   • Mark 10:42-45
3. The Parable of Jesus

   • Romans 2:4
   • Isaiah 5:7
   • Isaiah 5:5-6
   • 1 Chronicles 6:15

Application:

2. Just like Jesus, your suffering proclaims the love of God to other people
3. Suffering is 'light and momentary' in this life
