K.P. Yohannan emphasizes that Jesus’ life serves as our model for embracing suffering as part of our Christian journey. He challenges the modern notion of following Christ without the willingness to endure hardship, highlighting that suffering for Christ is a privilege and a necessary aspect of our faith. Yohannan points out that Jesus experienced suffering throughout His life, not just at the crucifixion, and that His example teaches us to deny ourselves and accept our own struggles. By following Christ's example, we can become agents of redemption, understanding that our suffering can lead to greater purposes in God's plan. Ultimately, the call is to align our will with God's, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane.

K.P. Yohannan emphasizes that Jesus is our perfect example of how to fulfill God's work in His way, demonstrating perfect obedience and reliance on the Father. He illustrates that Jesus, fully human, acted only in accordance with the Father's will, showing us that our service should stem from a deep relationship with God rather than mere need or urgency. Yohannan warns against the dangers of serving without divine direction, highlighting that true ministry is about doing what God has called us to do, not just good works. He encourages believers to enter into a state of 'striveless serving,' allowing Christ to work through them, which leads to peace and fulfillment in ministry. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a life of gratitude and trust in God's plan as we serve Him.
