Every sufferer who bears pain, or slander, or loss, or personal unkindness for Christ’s
sake, is filling up that amount of suffering which is necessary to the bringing
together of the whole body of Christ, and the upbuilding of His elect Church.

Mark then, Christian, Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering. He bears
a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it. Christ exempts you
from sin, but not from sorrow. Remember that, and expect to suffer.

C.H. SPURGEON
