I Know Your Afflictions

Revelation 2:8-11

Jesus comes to them in their affliction and assures them of His sympathetic understanding. Reflect on the meaning of suffering, the hope found in Christ, and the eternal crown of life promised to the faithful with Reverend Eric Alexander on Hear the Word of God.
