Suffering and Glory | Romans 8:18-27

Paul never minimises the sufferings Christians experience, but he does say that those sufferings pale in comparison to the coming glory. So, Christians are those who wait with hope. Waiting is hard (waiting rooms are the worst places in the world to be), but having hope in the waiting changes everything. As we wait in hope, we rest in the reality that the Spirit is interceding for us, pleading to the Father on our behalf (v27).
