Follow the Triumphant King

Following Jesus gives us deep comfort, a strong confidence and an exhilarating expectation despite all the suffering we will experience for His sake.

 

Jesus leads the way in suffering

Jesus’ suffering was unique:

– in its injustice

– in its awfulness

– in its effect

 

Through suffering to salvation:  God’s rescue of Noah and his family

 

Through the waters to safety:  baptism, an appeal to God for a good conscience

 

Jesus leads the way in triumph
