The contemporary American church usually interprets the ubiquitous language of suffering found in the New Testament as the trials suffered due to living in a fallen world. Trials such as sickness, the loss of a loved one, the parental heartbreak for a prodigal child are what come to mind when we think of suffering. But this luxury was not afforded the early church and the writers of the New Testament. For them, to suffer was to suffer for confessing Christ.
The writer of Hebrews offers two important factors in the Christian's life that will enable the believer to endure. His exhortation becomes increasingly important as the contemporary church finds itself more and more at odds with the world and might just be called upon to suffer for its confession of Christ.
