Suffering (209)
  1. Comfort is not a platitude; it is a promise. A promise from our God who left his place of glory and died a sinner’s death for poor sinners.
  2. The following is an excerpt from Ken Sundet Jones’ chapter in “Who Am I?” written by Scott Ashmon (1517 Publishing, 2020).
  3. God is not an impassive monster who is unfamiliar with our horrendous ailments. Rather, in Christ, God familiarizes himself with our suffering and becomes particularly attuned to the fragility of fallen humanity.
  4. That is why we dance on graves. That is why we smile in the midst of sorrowful tears. That is why we retell old stories and share humorous memories.
  5. Before you object that what we need is change - not salvation - let me remind you that our shouts for change are evidence of our need for a savior.
  6. God doesn’t permit me to write you off regardless of who you are or what you may have done. Nor does he allow you to dismiss me because I might not fit your image of a vessel of God’s mercy.
  7. The image of the cross stands as central to Luther’s comfort for those who endure persecution.

  9. Into our world of sin, broken hearts, physical ailments, and psychological suffering, our Lord of grace descended.
  10. When our friends are suffering, how should we comfort them? Craig and Troy discuss things NOT to say, and in the end discover just Who was sent to comfort us, and how He does it.
  11. What a person quickly realizes when sin, death, and Satan attack in concrete reality is how inadequate and ill-equipped they are to fight them off.
  12. In 2nd Corinthians, Paul has a lot to say about suffering. Paul reminds us that in our suffering, Jesus manifests both His suffering and His comfort. Oh, and Louie the Unofficial Comfort Dog/Program Producer makes an appearance, too.
