Perfected through suffering

"He learned obedience, Son though he was, through his suffering." (Hebrews 5: 7 – 9)

If we unite our sufferings with those of Christ, we too can learn obedience through our sufferings: pains, sickness, poverty, humiliations, delays, disappointments, obstacles or whatever suffering. Christ was perfected through suffering. We too can be perfected through suffering.
