When one hears the word suffering, we can agree it is synonymous with illness. Even though people experience suffering in other ways. In this episode Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss perseverance through suffering. Thus, the main passage referenced is Luke 22:39-46 New Living Translation.

Specifically, the Apostle Luke takes us to the Mt. of Olives. He describes what took place before Jesus of Nazareth’s arrest and crucifixion. Jesus knew He was about to endure tremendous suffering. So much so, that He fervently prayed asking Father God if there was another way to redeem mankind. Jesus ended His prayer with, “Not my will but Your will be done.”

In general, everyone has felt some form of judgement and/or shame by others. Thus, in this episode of Biblical Talks, SD and Lady V discuss John 8:1-11 (NASB). Specifically, this passage is the story of the adulterous woman. In fact, the scribes and Pharisees caught her in the act of adultery, then brought her to Jesus. They wanted to see what He would say about the matter. Because the law of Moses commanded that they stone her. But instead of allowing them to shame or judge her, Jesus set her free.
