The Bible teaches that Christ was made perfect through suffering. As imitators of Christ we should expect that our lives will involve some suffering as well. Greg discussed self-sacrifice and other principles of Christian discipline.
One of the most common images of God in the Bible is that of God as our 'heavenly Father.' It is important to note, however, that God is also portrayed as 'Mother' and we as God's children. Greg discussed how God used this image of 'Mother' to heal some profound wounds from his own childhood.

In America, we rarely hear the message that as Christians we should expect to suffer for our faith. If Christ was perfected by his obedience and sufferings, why should we expect to be spared suffering ourselves?

Jesus suffered and was tempted in every way, and he understands our struggles. Because of Christ we can be confident that God knows us from the inside out. For this reason we can approach God as one who understands and will be gracious. Judgment does not produce transformation in a person's life. Instead, God extends grace and forgiveness for our sin. Then God personally shows us the way to go.
