ake no apology. Jesus did not promise Paul a rose garden. Jesus clearly informed Paul through Ananias that he would suffer persecution for His name's sake.
As it turns out, suffering persecution can be an important tool used by the Father to train His sons. However, we need to understand its divine purpose. It is declared of Jesus, "though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered" (Hebr. 5:8). This wasn't obedience to the law, but obedience to the Father. When Jesus was tempted by the devil with the lust of the flesh when suffering hunger after his 40 day fast, He remained obedient to the word of the Father (Matt. 4:2-4). Jesus suffered the loss of the pride of life and lust of the eyes and remained obedient to the Father. The words He spoke and the deeds that He did were in love obedience to the Father (John 14:10). Jesus ultimately suffered persecution to trial and His sacrificial death on the cross, to become the author of eternal salvation (Hebr. 5:9).<end_of_turn>
