3. When sin and suffering surrounds us that we cannot get out, but we must either run through sin or suffering, then I may safely conclude, That Christ calleth me to suffer, and in this cause we may expect the peace and sweetness of his presence.
Thirdly, The third direction for suffering is this, Our spirit must be meek; so was Christ, he went as a Lamb to the slaughter.
It is possible a man may be right in his cause, and yet sinful in his carriage: and if so, no wonder if Christ be not sweet to us. To be fierce, and raging, and reviling in suffering, it is not becoming humanity, and therefore much less like Christianity. A Christian should be like Christ, Act. 5.41. And they departed from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his Name.. It becomes those that are found in the spirit, to give blessing for cursing: the more of Christs spirit is in our sufferings, the more comfort and joy we shall receive from our sufferings.
