IN HIS UNFAILING LOVE
IN HIS STEPS.....
WILL YOU PARTAKE OF HIS CUP?
"Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he
suffered; and being made perfect by the things which he suffered, he became
the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him"
---Hebrews 5:8-9; 2:10
WILL YOU FELLOWSHIP IN HIS SUFFERINGS?
"I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live."
---Galatians 2:20
Is there no other way, O God,
Except through sorrow, pain, or loss,
To stamp Christ's likeness on my soul -
No other way except the cross?
Through eyes grown dim with falling tears,
In vain some other path I seek;
"The cross is heavy, Lord," I pray,
"So heavy, and I am so weak."
"I cannot drink this bitter cup,"
I plead with passionate protest;
"Lord, let it pass - Thy hand lies hard
Upon me - I am sore distressed."
And then a voice stills all my soul,
As stilled the waves on Galilee;
"Canst thou not bear the furnace heat,
If 'mid the flames I walk with thee?"
"I bore the cross, I know its weight,
I drank the cup I hold for thee;
Canst thou not follow where I lead?
I'll give thee strength - lean thou on me."
And then with sudden shame, I fall
Low at His blessed, pierced feet,
"Lord, teach me how to follow Thee,
and make me for Thy service meet."
"I am not worthy e'en to lift
Thy hallowed cross - Thy pain to share;
Perfect through suffering, if Thou wilt,
So I at last Thy image bear."

yourselves likewise with the same mind"
---1 Peter 4:1
"If, when ye do well and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable
with God. For even hereunto were ye called, because Christ suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow in his steps"
---1 Peter 2:20-21
"For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him,
but also to suffer for his sake"
---Phipippians 1:29
"The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me,
they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep
yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
because they know not Him that sent me."
---John 15:20-21
