Reflections on Christ and Culture
While men use words to deceive and control, God’s Word is pure and trustworthy.
Suffering displays our sanctification and serves to help others in their sanctification.
One of the values of suffering is that it helps to expose remaining sin.
Suffering allows us to experience a measure of Christ’s sufferings
Suffering enhances our relationship with God.
God’s Word reveals His compassion on hurting and doubting people
Jesus’ bones were intact, and it reassures us that God is still in control when evil occurs.
The three crosses on the hill at Calvary remind us that there is no escaping suffering, but there is hope.
Suffering is an important part of our obedience to Jesus
Sometimes, as hard as it is to believe and impossible at times to understand, suffering can be for our good.
