Someone you love is ill, your child
is
in trouble, financial problems mount,
you lost your job, your spouse left you–
the list of troubles we experience is
both uniquely difficult and depressingly
similar. In this world we will suffer,
Jesus promised that. But he also
promised us something of infinite value–
he will be with his people in their
suffering.
Steve Brown, a well known radio Bible
teacher, writes honestly about his own
struggles with suffering, but then also
shares the hope he has found in the
presence of Christ. It is in turning to
him and remembering that he knows all
about our struggles that we experience
the power to endure in love and hope
through the most difficult situations.
