"For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ... 2 Cor 1:5.
Ha Ha! Those of us who think being christians will solve all our problems and sufferings, you have mistaken. In all Paul's epistles in the New Testament, he always talked about being badly treated and having lots of difficulties. "Afflictions" was the word he used.
But he was always joyful. He said "Blessed be the God ... the Father of mercies and God of all comfort." 2 Cor 1:3.
So being a christian, we continue to have lots of afflictions, but we also have lots of joy and comfort.
How can afflictions and joy happen at the same time ??!?? Walk with the Lord, and you would experience both, yourself.
