Our Suffering Will Be Like His

But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. - Hebrews 2:9

We share his sufferings and his glory

“Crowned because He suffered. May we not unite ourselves with Him even in this? He died for us, as George MacDonald says, not that we might not suffer but that our sufferings might be like His. Think what this means. If we are His children, we share His treasures, and all that Christ claims as His will belong to us as well. “If we share in his sufferings we shall certainly share in his glory” (Rom 8:17, JBP).” A Path Through Suffering - Elizabeth Elliot
