Hope In Suffering

How many ways can we suffer: Broken hearts, unhappy marriages, painful illnesses, divorces, depression or loneliness?

God walks arm in arm with us over the chasim, entering into our suffering. He did it all through His Son, Jesus Christ. The hinge of all history is the cross of Christ.

In the cross we have the clearest proof that God cares. He carries our sorrows close to His heart. He has been there because He was at the cross when His Son died. He is the God of all comfort.

By the cross we are assured that ultimately God will conquer all things, including suffering. We can believe in hope when there is none.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
