The Key to Enduring Suffering: Thinking Like Jesus About Pain
No one can escape the reality of pain and suffering, but, as Christians, Jesus actually promised we’d suffer (John 16:33) and face persecutions for his sake (Mark 10:30). Whether it’s experiencing pain because of the brokenness of sin upon the world or hardships due to our loyalty to Jesus, we will all face suffering in this world to one degree or another. So, how do we ensure our faith endures through them?
In this episode, Scott and Shawn tackle this difficult subject of pain and suffering, but from the standpoint of Jesus’ own experience. Specifically, they probe the Scriptures to see what guided Jesus’ own mind as he journeyed through suffering. What they discover is both inspiring and hopeful.
Whether you are journeying through painful trials, or maybe walking with someone through them, we trust this episode will give you courage and strength by revealing the source of Jesus’ trust and confidence in God, even as he suffered on the cross.
