Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering. He bears a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
About This Quote

The cross serves as a means of endurance for Jesus. We all suffer, but Jesus suffered so that we would not only be able to endure suffering, but also to gain eternal life. When Christ shed his blood on the cross, he took upon himself the punishment that accrues from our sins. Through this death, he brought us freedom from sin and endless life.
