In a sermon entitled The Spirit Helps Us in Our Weakness preached on 16 Nov 2008, available on the St Ebbe's, Oxford Church website, Vaughan Roberts concludes with 4 truths about Christian suffering:
(1) Suffering can’t be
avoided (v17-18) – we don’t seek it but we expect it
(2) It’s under control
(v20) – suffering is part of God’s plan and he is sovereign over it. (God has a purpose in it).
(3) It won’t go on for
ever (v18) – look to the future with confident hope
(4) We don’t have to face
it alone (v26) – the Spirit helps us in our weakness
