Suffering (29)
  1. Satan and the old Adam don't want Jesus to bear our crosses for us because that means we can't claim that we've done anything to merit God's mercy and salvation.
  2. Jesus is a real person talking to you and feeding you, which is beyond intellectual Christianity!
  3. His word is what strengthens and changes our hearts. The Lord God will bring us victory.
  4. What a person quickly realizes when sin, death, and Satan attack in concrete reality is how inadequate and ill-equipped they are to fight them off.
  5. There is true help in the midst of our pain. Someone who suffered as we suffer, who embraced all our pain in his suffering and death on a cross.
  6. God hides from us on purpose so he can be God for us without limits or measures in the way of faithful, loving-kindness.
  7. Most days, we're not okay. We're not good enough, strong enough, or "Christian" enough.
  8. Jesus isn't just "the reason for the season." He's the reason we don't have to cross off "spiritually bankrupt," "mentally compromised," and "physically vulnerable" from our Christmas list.
  9. When we ask ourselves, "My God, how did I get so lost," he answers, "I am the God who comes to seek and save the lost in the power of my resurrection.
  10. A new life in Christ Jesus is our hope. Not only that, Jesus is our access to God.
  11. Sane People Would Pay Top Dollar for This Kind of Podcast. Gillespie, Riley, and special guest Chad Bird read from his book, "Your God is Too Glorious." They then discuss baptism, suffering, and vocation.
  12. Our scars are a reminder that salvation is all gift.
