23: Hard Questions: Why Do People Suffer?

Hard Questions: Week 2 | Why Do People Suffer? <br>

God’s love is greater than this fallen world (Romans 8:28). From the beginning of creation, God has demonstrated His love to us by giving us choice. For love to exist, choice is necessary. And because choice exists – the choice to embrace or reject Him – suffering, pain, and injustice exist as well. Sin has marred all of creation, brought physical and spiritual death, and produced every kind of relational strife and hardship. God’s promise to us is not that He will remove all suffering and pain from our lives. His promise to His followers is that He will be present with us, pouring out Jesus’ victorious love and peace in the midst of our difficulties (John 16:33). Jesus came for us as the answer to a fallen world and desires to be in us, working and moving through us to represent His heart to those experiencing difficulty (Philippians 3:10). <br>
