Suffering (206)
  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. Sin is driven by disordered love, and it is love in this sense that leads to all the pain and suffering in the world.
  3. Jesus is a real person talking to you and feeding you, which is beyond intellectual Christianity!
  4. His word is what strengthens and changes our hearts. The Lord God will bring us victory.
  5. God’s goal in all this is that His call to repentance impacts our lives by turning us to find peace and joy in Christ.
  6. These words not only rescue and defend; they also attack.
  7. It is one thing to pray against death’s slow and aggressive assault on God’s creation. It is another to trust in the one who has conquered the grave.
  8. A change during a time of crisis is nothing new; it's an experience we can see throughout history.
  9. We have seen a vision better than an angel. We have seen God on the cross. A God who is willing to suffer for us.
  10. Comfort is not a platitude; it is a promise. A promise from our God who left his place of glory and died a sinner’s death for poor sinners.
  11. The following is an excerpt from Ken Sundet Jones’ chapter in “Who Am I?” written by Scott Ashmon (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  12. God is not an impassive monster who is unfamiliar with our horrendous ailments. Rather, in Christ, God familiarizes himself with our suffering and becomes particularly attuned to the fragility of fallen humanity.
