Ivan Shares About Joy and Suffering

I wanted to be able to tell you so that you could understand. Disciples must follow Christ. Christ is the way, but he faced the cross and complete rejection. Jesus did say we would face troubles and persecution. But this same way is the way to joy and fulfillment.

My challenge to you – don’t look at the difficulties, but look at what God wants us to do.
