Suffering

Bill Clark wraps up our Vulnerable series by discussing the hard times of suffering we walk through and how Christ experienced suffering head on. Suffering Vulnerable | Week 5 April 2, 2017 | Bill Clark Luke 9:51 (NIV) As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. Philippians 2:7-8 (NIV) ...making himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross! Matthew 27:46 (NIV) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Tim Keller No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it. Matthew 5:4 (NIV) Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. You don’t really know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have. C.S. Lewis God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
