Discipline Of God

Hebrews 12:6

"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and

 scourgeth every son who he receiveth."

         Christians are urged to "bear it" because anything we may "have to bear is a little thing compared with what Jesus Christ had to bear." We must bear hardship because it is sent as a discipline from God and no life can have any value apart from discipline.
         A father always disciplines his child. It would not be a mark of love to let a son do what he likes and have nothing but an easy way; it would show that the father regarded the son as no better than an illegitimate child to whom he felt neither love nor responsibility.
        We submit to an earthly father's discipline which is imposed only for a short time, until we reach years of maturity, and which at best always contains an element of discipline. The earthly father is to whom we owe our bodily life; how much more should we submit to the discipline of God to whom we owe our immortal spirits and who, in His wisdom, seeks for nothing but our highest good.
         Amen!!
