*A thought*:

How amazing that the Son of God, equipped as He was with the power to extricate Himself from difficult situations, choose instead to suffer them. And why? Because as William Penn puts it: " _No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown_".


*Week #6 memory verse*:

2 Corinthians 1:4 _"... who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God"_
