The Sufferings of Christ presents Ellen White's meditation on Jesus' physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering throughout His life and particularly during the passion week. This devotional pamphlet emphasizes the depth of Christ's sacrifice and suffering for humanity's redemption. Topics typically covered include: incarnation's humiliation, temptations and struggles, rejection and misunderstanding, Gethsemane's agony, the cross's physical torture, bearing sin's guilt, separation from the Father, and the complete sacrifice made for salvation. White emphasized that understanding Christ's sufferings deepens appreciation for redemption, strengthens resolve to overcome sin, and demonstrates the cost of salvation. Contemplating Christ's sufferings produces gratitude, consecration, and determination to honor such sacrifice through faithful living.
All believers contemplating Christ's sacrifice, those preparing for communion services, Christians needing renewed consecration, and anyone studying the atonement's depth and meaning.
