On June 13, Pastor Bai Yu'e shared online the eleventh chapter in a series on the church's revival. The theme was on how believers can face suffering correctly.
Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered. (Hebrews 5:8)
The result of suffering allows us to learn to obey, fully receive, to know and experience Christ. It gives us confidence, and more importantly, is an actual life experience. The suffering that Jesus experienced brought us great salvation, healing grace and meaning in life. Christians certainly will suffer and die, but we should imitate our Lord. He was a grain of wheat, fell to the ground and died, so that more grain could be produced.
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
Suffering is a journey that must be experienced in our lives, so we should not be afraid of it, but rely on the Lord to overcome, since suffering helps us to grow in our spiritual lives.
Just like Paul and Silas in prison, they sang and prayed and praised, then all the prison doors were opened, and the chains on their bodies were replaced. Suffering brings us opportunities, revelation, and opportunities for breakthroughs and victory.
A lot of suffering is intertwined in a person's life. But His purpose is to make us mature, learn humility and obedience, and let us experience Christ.
Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come! (Amos 6:1)
Ease can lead to our hearts not following God, so don’t fall into the depravity of ease. This can harm the growth of all Christians. Woe to those who feel secure! Whether it is comfort or suffering, we are not asking for pain or seeking enjoyment, as long as something is from God, all is good. But actually the problem is not suffering or ease of life. What is important is to be able to rely on God in any situation.

白玉娥牧师谈教会复兴（十一）
6月13日，白玉娥牧师在线上分享了教会复兴的第十一篇。讲述了信徒如何正确面对苦难。
一、苦难的结果
他虽然为儿子，还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。(希伯来书 5:8)
苦难的结果让我们学会顺服，还让我们能够完全的得着基督、认识基督、经历基督，让我们产生信心，更重要的是获得生命实际的经验和体验。耶稣所受的苦难带给我们极大的拯救，是全备的救恩，所以苦难也能带给我们的益处。今天基督徒遭遇苦难也会死，便是要效法我们的主，他就是一粒麦子，落在地里死了，就结出许多的子粒来。
二、苦难的益处
他被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义上活。因他受的鞭伤，你们便得了医治。(彼得前书 2:24)
苦难是我们生命中必须要经历的历程，所以我们不要怕苦难，要靠着主战胜苦难，因为苦难能使我们的生命成长.
苦难能够带给我们机会，带来启示，也能够带来突破与得胜的机会。就像保罗和西拉在监狱当中，他们唱诗祷告赞美，监狱所有的牢门全部打开，身上的锁链全部脱落。
人一生中交织了很多的苦难，是神要历练我们的生命走向成熟，而且受苦以后神让我们学习谦卑顺服，让我们经历基督。耶稣的受苦带给我们极大的救恩也带给我们医治的恩典，所以神实在爱我们。
三、安逸的考验
国为列国之首，人最著名，且为以色列家所归向，在锡安和撒玛利亚山安逸无虑的，有祸了！(阿摩司书 6:1 )
安逸可以夺走我们的心，千万不要陷在安逸的堕落里面，这对所有基督徒的成长是有极大的危害。安逸无虑的人有祸了。无论是安逸，或者是苦难，我们不是自找痛苦，也不是自找享受，只要是从神来的就都是好的。今天问题不是在于苦难或者安逸，重要的是在任何的环境中能够学会依靠神。
