Word of God clearly says in 1 PETER 2:21- For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
Jesus suffered every punishment which was due to us for our sins. He was persecuted for our sake, He was scourged, beaten, spit upon, dealt harshly, crowned with thorns, carried the cross to Calvary, nailed on the cross for our sake. Jesus suffered complete suffering for our sins.
In today's world when people face small crisis like job loss, misunderstanding, persecution, sickness, financial problems, poverty, harsh words from others, treated badly by others they cannot bear it. Instead of bearing they fight against it and fall into addiction, bad habits and bad company because of this instead of changing they become worst.
Jesus suffered everything coming His way joyfully setting us example that we have to follow His footsteps but the truth is people want only good from the Lord and all the bad for their enemies.
Whatever suffering God has destined for us we have to go through wit courage and joy because it is the process of our purification from our sins and starting point of our Holiness. More we go through suffering more we will be united with the Lord.
Miracles can make us united with the Lord for a short period of time but suffering will unite us with Lord for life time only if we are obedient.
