Jesus seems to find his children when they are suffering. In fact, a biblical connection to God takes place in the milieu of our great need and despair (my sin and helplessness - God's perfection, love, and forgiveness). Suffering should, not only serve to draw us closer to Jesus, it should be an opening for the gospel in the lives of those around us.
- Suffering strips us of the illusion of control
- Suffering moves us toward the needs of others
- Suffering causes us to consider cosmic realities
