Glorifying God through Suffering

Aug 6, 2025    Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin

The discussion centers on the theological concept of kenosis, emphasizing Jesus Christ's voluntary restriction of His divine attributes during His incarnation. McLaughlin elaborates on Jesus' spiritual maturity, His baptism, and the subsequent temptations by Satan in the desert. Jesus' responses to these tests, particularly His refusal to turn stones into bread, are highlighted as examples of reliance on God's provision and doctrine. McLaughlin  argues against praying for miracles or strength in suffering, asserting that true strength comes from adherence to biblical doctrine and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Divine Power: Spiritual maturity plus passing evidence testing equals glorification of God in the historic extension of the angelic conflict.

Mat 4:3-4
