SUFFERING ---  IS  IT  NOT  PART  OF  THE  GOSPEL  --- PART  OF  GODS  WILL

 

PHILIPPIANS 1:29  for unto you it is given in the behalf of  CHRIST  ---not only to believe on  HIM  but also to suffer for  HIS  sake---

 

1 PETER 4:1  forasmuch then as  CHRIST  hath suffered for us in the flesh ---arm yourselves likewise with the same mind--- for he that hath suffered in the flesh ---hath ceased from sin---

--4:2-- that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men ---but to the will of  GOD---

--4:15-- but let none of you suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as an evil doer ---or as a busy body in other mens matters---

--4:16-- yet if any man suffer as a  CHRISTIAN  let him not be ashamed ---but let him glorify  GOD  on this behalf---

 

JOHN 5:8  JESUS  saith unto him rise take up thy bed and walk 

--5:9-- and immediately the man was made whole --- and took up his bed and walked and on the same day was the sabbath

 

JOHN 5:14  afterward  JESUS  findeth him in the temple and said unto him --- behold thou art made whole sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you ---

 

ROMANS 12:2  and be you not conformed to this world but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind --- that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of  GOD ---

 

LOVING  THE  LORD  JESUS  CHRIST

Lamentations 1
Easy-to-Read Version
Jerusalem Cries Over Her Destruction
1 Jerusalem once was a city full of people,
    but now the city is so empty.
She[a] was one of the greatest cities in the world,
    but now she is like a poor widow.
She was once a princess among cities,
    but now she has been made a slave.
2 She cries bitterly in the night.
    Her tears are on her cheeks.
    She has no one to comfort her.
Many nations were friendly to her,
    but not one of them comforts her now.
All her friends have turned their backs on her
    and have become her enemies.
3 Judah suffered very much,
    and then she was taken into captivity.
She lives among other nations
    but has found no rest.
The people who chased her caught her
    where there was no way out.
4 The roads to Zion are very sad,
    because no one comes to Zion for the festivals anymore.
All of Zion’s gates have been destroyed;
    all her priests groan in sorrow.
Zion’s young women have been taken away,[c]
    and all this made Zion sad.
5 Jerusalem’s enemies have won.
    Her enemies have been successful.
This happened because the Lord punished her.
    He punished Jerusalem for her many sins.
Her children have gone away.
    Their enemies captured them and took them away.
6 The beauty of Daughter Zion[d] has gone away.
    Her princes were like deer that cannot find a meadow to feed in.
    They walk away without strength from those who chased them.
7 Jerusalem thinks back.
She remembers the time when she was hurt
    and when she lost her home.
She remembers all the nice things that she had in the past.
    She remembers those nice things that she had in the old days.
She remembers when her people were captured by the enemy.
    She remembers when there was no one to help her.
When her enemies saw her, they laughed,
    because she was destroyed.
8 Jerusalem sinned very badly.
    Because Jerusalem sinned,
    she became a ruined city that people shake their heads about.
In the past people respected her.
    But now they hate her,
    because they abused her.
Jerusalem groaned
    and turned away.
9 Jerusalem’s skirts were dirty.
    She gave no thought to what would become of her.
Her fall was amazing.
    She had no one to comfort her.
She says, “Lord, see how I am hurt!
    See how my enemy thinks he is so great!”

10 The enemy stretched out his hand.
    He took all her nice things.
In fact, she saw the foreign nations go inside her Temple.
    And you said those people could not join in our assembly!
11 All the people of Jerusalem are groaning.
    All of her people are looking for food.
    They are giving away all their nice things for food to stay alive.
Jerusalem says, “Look, Lord. Look at me!
    See how people hate me.
12 All you who pass by on the road, you don’t seem to care.
    But look at me and see.
Is there any pain like my pain?
    Is there any pain like the pain that has come to me?
Is there any pain like the pain that the Lord has punished me with?
    He has punished me on the day of his great anger.
13 The Lord sent fire from above
    that went down into my bones.
He stretched out a net for my feet.
    He turned me all the way around.
He made me into a wasteland.
    I am sick all day.

14 “My sins were tied up like a yoke.
    My sins were tied up in the Lord’s hands.
His yoke is on my neck.
    He has made me weak.
He has given me to those
    who I cannot stand up against.
15 “The Lord rejected all my powerful men
    who were inside the city.
Then he brought a group of people against me.
    He brought them to kill my young soldiers.
The Lord has trampled his dearest city[e]
    like grapes in a winepress.

16 “I cry about all these things.
    Tears are flowing down my cheeks.
There is no one near to comfort me.
    There is no one who can make me feel better.
My children are like a wasteland,
    because the enemy won.”

17 Zion spread out her hands.
    There was no one to comfort her.
The Lord had given orders to Jacob’s enemies.
    He ordered them to surround the city.
Jerusalem has become a dirty rag
    that her enemies threw away.

18 Now Jerusalem says, “I refused to listen to the Lord,
    so he is right for doing these things.
So listen, all you people!
    Look at my pain!
My young women and men
    have gone into captivity.
19 I called out to my lovers,
    but they tricked me.
My priests and my elders
    have died in the city.
They were looking for food for themselves.
    They wanted to keep themselves alive.

20 “Look at me, Lord. I am in distress!
    I am upset, as if my heart turned upside down inside of me.
I feel this way because
    I have been so stubborn.
Out in the streets,
    I lost my children to the swords.
Inside, it is like death.

21 “Listen to me, I am groaning.
    I have no one to comfort me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble.
    They are happy that you did this to me.
You said there would be a time of punishment.
    You said you would punish my enemies.
Now do what you said.
    Let my enemies be like I am now.

22 “Look how evil my enemies are!
    Then you can treat them the same way you treated me
    because of all my sins.
Do this because I am groaning again and again.
    Do this because my heart is sick.”

Isaiah 33
Easy-to-Read Version
The Lord Will Show His Power
33 Look at you. You attack others when you have not been attacked. You turn against others when no one has turned against you. So when you stop your attacks, you will be attacked. When you stop turning against others, they will turn against you.

2 Lord, be kind to us.
    We have waited for your help.
Give us strength every morning.
    Save us when we are in trouble.
3 Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear.
    Your greatness causes the nations to run away.

4 You people stole things in war. Those things will be taken from you. Many will come and take your wealth. It will be like the times when locusts come and eat all your crops.

5 The Lord is very great. He lives in a very high place. He fills Zion with justice and goodness.

6 Jerusalem, you are rich with wisdom and knowledge of God. You are rich with salvation. You respect the Lord, and that makes you rich.

7 But listen! The messengers are crying outside. The messengers[a] who bring peace are crying very hard. 8 The roads are empty; there is no one walking along the paths. People don’t respect each other. They have broken the agreements they made, and they refuse to believe what witnesses tell them. 9 The land is sick and dying. Lebanon is dying and Sharon Valley is dry and empty. Bashan and Carmel once grew beautiful plants—but now those plants have stopped growing.

10 The Lord says, “Now, I will stand and show people how great and powerful I am. 11 You people have done useless things. These things are like hay and straw. They are worth nothing! Your breath will be like a fire and burn you. 12 People will be burned until their bones become lime.[c] They will burn quickly like thorns and dry bushes.

13 “You people in faraway lands, listen to what I have done. You people who are near me, learn about my power.”

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Those who do wrong shake with fear. They say, “Can any of us live through this fire that destroys? Who can live near this fire that burns forever?”[d]

15 Good, honest people who refuse to hurt others for money will live through that fire. They refuse to take bribes or listen to plans to murder other people. They refuse to look at plans for doing bad things. 16 They will live safely in high places. They will be protected in high rock fortresses. They will always have food and water.

17 Your eyes will see the King in his beauty. You will see the great land. 18-19 When you think about the troubles you had in the past, you will wonder, “Where are those foreigners who spoke languages we could not understand. Where are the officials and tax collectors from other lands? Where are the spies who counted our defense towers?”

God Will Protect Jerusalem
20 Look at Zion, the city of our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem—that beautiful place of rest. Jerusalem is like a tent that will never be moved. The pegs that hold her in place will never be pulled up. Her ropes will never be broken, 21-23 because the Lord is our powerful leader there. That land is a place with streams and wide rivers, but there will be no enemy boats or powerful ships on those rivers. You men who work on such boats can stop your work with the ropes. You cannot make the mast strong enough. You will not be able to open your sails, because the Lord is our judge. He makes our laws. He is our king. He saves us. The Lord will give us our wealth. Even crippled people will get their share. 24 No one living there will say, “I am sick,” because everyone living there has had their guilt removed.

Psalm 32
Easy-to-Read Version
A maskil of David.
32 It is a great blessing
    when people are forgiven for the wrongs they have done,
    when their sins are erased.[a]
2 It is a great blessing
    when the Lord says they are not guilty,
    when they don’t try to hide their sins.

3 Lord, I prayed to you again and again,
    but I did not talk about my sins.
    So I only became weaker and more miserable.
4 Every day you made life harder for me.
    I became like a dry land in the hot summertime. Selah

5 But then I decided to confess my sins to the Lord.
    I stopped hiding my guilt and told you about my sins.
    And you forgave them all! Selah

6 That is why your loyal followers pray to you while there is still time.
    Then when trouble rises like a flood, it will not reach them.
7 You are a hiding place for me.
    You protect me from my troubles.
You surround me and protect me,
    so I sing about the way you saved me. Selah

8 The Lord says, “I will teach you
    and guide you in the way you should live.
    I will watch over you and be your guide.
9 Don’t be like a stupid horse or mule that will not come to you
    unless you put a bit in its mouth and pull it with reins.”

10 Many pains will come to the wicked,
    but the Lord’s faithful love will surround those who trust in him.
11 Good people, rejoice and be very happy in the Lord.
    All you who want to do right, rejoice!
