2. Suffering but Satisfied (Philippians 1:12-26)
Everyone suffers, but not everyone suffers well. So what’s the secret? The Bible would say you have to find meaning in suffering, a purpose higher than just your happiness. Many world religions claim to offer such a purpose, but Christianity is utterly unique in offering not just a purpose worth suffering for… but a person who suffered for you.
