The Christian Yoke Is Not Easy
In the world ye shall have tribulation. (John 16: 33.)
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2 Tim. 3: 12.)
Whom the Lord loveth be chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.... But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons. (Heb. 12: 6, 8.)
