Bearing the Pain

 

Bearing the Pain

How could you not love this person who went the extra mile, who practiced more than He preached, who entered our world, who suffered our pains, who offers Himself to us in the midst of our sorrows?

God’s answer to the problem of suffering is that He came right down into it. Jesus is the answer to suffering. It is His Word. It is His person. Take your suffering to Him and He will enter it with You, and all will turn out good for those who Love Him.

Jesus was broken, despised and rejected of men. He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He was sold out and the people hid their faces from Him as they would a leper.

Every tear we shed becomes His tear. He may not wipe them away yet, but He will.

Jesus was honest enough to tell us we’d have trials and tribulations.

When your world is rocked, you don’t want philosophy or theology as much as you want the reality of Christ. Our sufferings become more manageable in the light of His.

Notes taken from “The Case for Christ” by Lee Strobel
