DAILY LIVING | How to Deal with Excruciating Pain
from It Is Written Canada · host IIW Canada
If you’ve ever smashed your thumb with a hammer or experienced the death of a loved one, you know what excruciating pain feels like. The word “excruciating” comes from two Latin words: “ex” as in the English word “exit” meaning “out,” and “crucia” referring to the crucifix or the cross. So, “excruciating” literally means “out of the cross” or the pain Jesus suffered when He was crucified. If you are right now facing excruciating pain, Jesus understands, and we want to share with you the way Your Saviour dealt with severe pain. Our hope is that His example will help you.
