Sufferings can come to the Christian because of his faith in Jesus Christ. As he seeks to please Christ and do His will, sufferings can come perhaps as a result of persecution as in the experience of the Apostle Paul. He was not dismayed because he experienced the comfort and strengthening that Christ promised His disciples.

The word “tribulation’ means “pressing together, squeezing”. It describes a pressure applied to a breaking point. The Apostle Paul speaks of the comfort of God’s mercies during the time of tribulation for God’s people. He is there for them to take care of them who are in any trouble.
