The apostle Paul, one of the most prolific writers of the New Testament and the man through whom a great deal of Christian doctrine and philosophy was formed, said that he longed to suffer so as to take part in Christ’s resurrection. Was he just a glutton for punishment, or was he trying to say that Christians need to suffer to appreciate their faith? Or was he saying something far deeper and far more beautiful about the effect Easter Sunday has on the way we see the world? Psalm 57; Daniel 6.25-28; Psalm 72; Philippians 3.7-11
