BAPTISM OF SUFFERING
Matthew 20:23
“So He said to them, ’You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.’ ”
It is called the Baptism of Suffering. All of the disciples except Judas would indeed eventually experience this baptism, either by torture or by death. I know nothing of this kind of baptism. I have had such an easy life. But there are many Christians around the world who know what true suffering for the name of Jesus is. Lord, be their shield and comfort.
TODAY’S PRINCIPLE: Jesus promised the Baptism of Suffering to His disciples, and there are still disciples going through that Baptism today.

Have a thankful day. Love you.
