WE must not imagine that zve are suffering for Christ, and zvith Christ, if we are not in Christ.: Beloved friend, are you trusting to Jesus only? If not, whatever you may have to mourn over on earth, i you are not “suffering with Christ,” and have no, hope of regaining with him in heaven. Neither are I we to conclude that all a Christian’s sufferings are sufferings with Christ, for it is essential that he he called by God to suffer. If we are rash and imprudent, and run into positions for which neither providence nor grace has fitted us, we ought to question whether we are not rather sinning than communing with Jesus.
