Art Katz emphasizes the profound significance of Israel's suffering as a means to reveal the true church and the true God to the nations. He highlights that only the righteous are willing to suffer for others, particularly for Israel, who is both a suffering servant and a reflection of Christ's own sacrifice. Katz calls for a deeper understanding of God's purposes through suffering, urging the church to identify with Israel and participate in their journey. He warns against reducing the church's calling to mere programs, advocating instead for a prophetic and apostolic stature that embraces suffering for the sake of God's glory and Israel's redemption. The sermon concludes with a prayer for the church to awaken to its eternal destiny and the necessity of suffering in fulfilling God's redemptive plan.

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the transformative power of Christ's resurrection, urging believers to recognize themselves as dead to sin and alive to God. He highlights the importance of yielding to God, not as a daily act of dying, but as those who are alive from the dead, using their lives as instruments of righteousness. Simpson explains that the resurrection life equips us for fellowship in Christ's sufferings, enabling us to endure trials with joy and victory. He encourages believers to focus on the sufferings of Christ rather than their own, as they bear burdens for others and the Church. Ultimately, he calls for a life empowered by the resurrection to serve and uplift a suffering world.
