Good Friday: Suffering

Suffering

There is suffering all around us. We may live in a wealthy bubble but there's still suffering. Even in the bubble. 

There is pain and loneliness and torture and abuse and death and violence and abandonment all around us. All the time. Millions of people are living in hell. Right now, on this earth.

On Good Friday the God of the universe entered into our suffering. He came along side us in our rejection, our torture, our abandonment, our shame, our hell. The God of the universe could have stayed far away but he chose to enter in. He chose to suffer like we suffer.

He can relate to our suffering.
