Suffering (4)
  1. We’ve hung on every whisper of hope that this way of life would end and a new one would rise to take its place.
  2. These words not only rescue and defend; they also attack.
  3. Should we really be surprised that it would happen this way, that the servant would suffer for our salvation and die for our forgiveness?
  4. The biblical response to suffering, to recognizing that things are not as they ought to be, is lament.
