How Do We Make Sense of Our Suffering? (Part Three)
Pain and suffering are the common denominators of the human experience. God told us we would have trouble. There will be trials and ordeals.
We are going to deal with suffering, wounds, loss and pain in this life.
Dr. Swanson teaches from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 which provides assurance that God promises to comfort us when we are in pain. He comforts us with His presence.
When someone is in need they are comforted by the presence of another, so it is with God. The power of the scripture is that God will come and be with us. The presence of the living God dwells with us that gives us hope and comforts us.
He also assures us that our pain is never going to be wasted. It will be redeemed because God will give us the opportunity to comfort others with the comfort He has given us.
How Do We Make Sense of Our Suffering? (Part Two)
All of us carry certain pain. What do we do with those wounds?
Dr. Swanson addresses the topic of suffering with insightful teaching answering many of our questions about why God allows it.
He relates the story of St. Paul from 2 Corinthians 1 and the pain Paul suffered because of the accusations made against him. He feels betrayed by the church. Paul understood that Christ suffered and so shall we. Paul also writes about the comfort he received from God.
Pain and suffering are the common denominators of the human experience because we live in a sinful world where death still reigns. But our response should not be questioning God why did this happen? God does not answer the WHY question as we learn from John 11. When Mary and Martha ask Jesus why He allowed Lazarus to die, His response was tears and then he moved forward in his grief and raised Lazarus from the dead.
We are going to suffer in this life but we are not alone. God is not going to waste the pain and wounds that we experience in this life. Our pain unites us with other people. Christ has power over sin and death.
REFLECTION:
God uses suffering. It is part of the human experience. He is always there to comfort you and give you hope.
Write out your pain and then ask God to use it for His Glory.
Pray through 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 asking for God’s abundant comfort.
Consider joining a support group or sharing your story to comfort others.
How Do We Make Sense of our Suffering? (Part One)
Although Dr. Swanson has been in Pastoral ministry for many years he never really knows what might happen in a worship service. On this particular Sunday he witnessed a very revealing exercise with his congregation. He asked them to write down what was on their heart and bring it to the Lord. Dr. Swanson read and prayed over each entry.
He was burdened to learn that most people brought their “pain" to the Lord; fear, anger, confusion, disappointment, hurt and broken hearts. Most members of the church seemed to be suffering. He realized that all of us carry certain pains and are trying to make sense of them.
