Why Suffering?

from First Baptist Joplin · host John Swadley

John Swadley | Luke 23:13-25Suffering is one of life's hardest questions, but Scripture reminds us that God has not abandoned us in the middle of our pain. This message explores why suffering exists, pointing us back to humanity's brokenness, God's perfect justice, and the hope of eternity. Even when life feels unfair, God is still at work, using our trials to shape us, strengthen our faith, and draw us closer to Him. The cross is the greatest reminder that while God may not always remove our suffering, He never wastes it.
