Thoughts on Suffering

I Pet. 4:1..."Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm
yourselves likewise with the SAME MIND: for he that hath suffered in the flesh
hath CEASED FROM SIN."

Heb. 2:10..."For it became him for whom are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
PERFECT through sufferings."

Heb. 5:8..."Though he were a Son, yet learned OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered..."

I Peter. 2:21..."For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also SUFFERED
for us, leaving us an example, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS."

1.What is the "same mind" that is talked about here? Is it the mind of being
willing to suffer for the good of others?

2.In what sense does suffering bring about a "ceasing of sin" in our lives?

Have you experienced this....that suffering physically or emotionally, etc. helps
to bring about a "surrenderedness" to the will of God"? Is this the sense in
which he that suffers "ceases from sin"???
