Holiness and Suffering

James concludes our Holiness series with a powerful message on holiness and suffering, drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:1-18. He divides the passage into three key points: the message of Christianity, how we suffer well, and what happens when we suffer well. James helps us understand that while suffering is not God's desire for us, He can use it to shape us. At the cross, God Himself endured suffering, and with that in mind, we can begin to grasp how to suffer well. Suffering is a part of walking in relationship with God. We can choose to merely endure suffering, or we can draw closer to Jesus, suffering with Him as He did, knowing that through our suffering, He is making us holy.
