COLOSSIANS And at Colossians 1:24 Saint Paul says to the community there: “But part of my work is to suffer for you; and I am glad, for I am helping to finish up the remainder of Christ’s sufferings for his body, the church.” We suffer persecution: but are not forsaken. We are cast down: but we perish not.
Did Jesus beat rods?
Gospels. Flagellation at the hands of the Romans is mentioned in three of the four canonical Gospels: John 19:1, Mark 15:15, and Matthew 27:26, and was the usual prelude to crucifixion under Roman law. None of the three accounts are more detailed than John’s “Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged” (NIV).
Why did Paul get 39 lashes?
The term was meant to be a biblical one in that 40 lashes are what was determined enough to kill a man according to the Old Testament and thus 39 lashes was the most you give a man without declaring a penalty of death. It was actually an old Roman law/tradition that said forty lashes were a death sentence.

What are God’s purposes for allowing adversity in my life?
In my mind there is no doubt that God allows adversity for at least three reasons. First, He may allow them to get our attention. Second, He may allow them to guide us to self-examination concerning our lives. Third, He may allow adversity to bring us to a place where we will change our belief and our behavior in life.
What are the three forms of suffering?
Recognition of the fact of suffering as one of three basic characteristics of existence—along with impermanence (anichcha) and the absence of a self (anatta)—constitutes the “right knowledge.” Three types of suffering are distinguished: they result, respectively, from pain, such as old age, sickness, and death; from
Why does God allow suffering Catholic view?
The Catholic Church sees human suffering as a chance to follow the example of Christ and believe that it is a part of God’s plan. The document aims to reconcile suffering and pain with the belief in a loving God. Those who suffer here on Earth are united in that suffering with Christ, who died on the cross.
