The Firstfruits of the Spirit

Our passage today, Romans 8:17-25, is all about that. It's all about suffering and finding hope. It's about understanding the design of God in suffering, seeing beyond our suffering, and learning to wait in patience in the midst of suffering for the glory that is yet to be revealed in us. So this is a passage, in my judgment, that we really need in these days. There are tools here that we've got to learn to use as we try to make sense of the days in which we are presently living. And to help us get at Paul's teaching, we're going to think about suffering and glory under two broad headings. First of all, suffering and glory in union with Jesus Christ. Suffering and glory in union with Christ.
