Faith For Living | "Understanding Pain and Suffering"
Quick Overview
The Biblical Definition Of Pain And Suffering
It is wired in us as human beings to want to find meaning in suffering. We are extremely uncomfortable with the vagaries of life. Sudden calamity, like natural disaster and unforeseen illness, can seem haphazard; therefore, we struggle to find God’s purposes behind events of this sort. Sometimes, our presumptions have been far too glib, like claiming the AIDS epidemic or Hurricane Katrina were God’s judgment on America. We are often too quick to blame the victims, in the hope that it will relieve our own angst.
