Reading the Father’s
plans for ourselves, in the light of His will exemplified in His
dealings with our Master, we may settle it at once that it is not
His will to keep us from all pain and trial and sufferings, and to
carry us triumphantly to glory on flowery beds of ease. Quite the
reverse, indeed, must be our course, if we would follow in the
footsteps of Him whom God set forth to be, not only a satisfaction
for the sins of the whole world but also a pattern to all of
Christ’s disciples. And this much learned of God’s Plan and will
promptly teaches us that we must not expect and should not ask
freedom from pain and trouble, which His wisdom has ordained to be
the path to glory. |
