Suffering and Illness
from Grace in the Shadows Hosted by Dr. Marla and Dr. Jonathan Behler
Send us Fan Mail Why do Christians get sick, and how can their suffering bring glory to God? In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the reasons behind illness and suffering and share stories from the Bible that illustrate these points. We discuss how living in a fallen world (as described in Romans 5:12) contributes to sickness and disease, and how Jesus' healings were a sign of what the world will be like in the millennial reign when there won't be any sickness, pain, or sorrow. We also delve into how suffering can serve as a testing and strengthening of faith, discipline and correction, and as a means to bring glory to God. Through the story of Joseph and the trials of Job, we reveal the transformative power of faith in the face of adversity. Additionally, we discuss the inspiring example of Johnny Erickson Tata, a Christian author and speaker who became paralyzed from the neck down in 1967, and how she has used her suffering to bring glory to God and help others living with disabilities. So, join us in this enlightening episode, as we encourage you to see the potential for growth, faith, and glorifying God through times of suffering and illness.
