The Comfort of the Afflicted

July 7, 2013 Speaker: Mike Jones

Scripture: Psalm 115:3

A biblical theology of suffering: The cross has exhausted the curse so that the people of God can look forward to vindication from all suffering. This message meditates on seven biblical truths about suffering.

Outline

  1. We must humble ourselves before a sovereign God.
  2. We often cannot fathom the specific reasons for suffering.
  3. Miscarriages and cancer and lupus and floods are because of the fall.
  4. The solution is the cross where Jesus exhausted the curse.
  5. We must look forward to the new creation promises.
  6. We have a Jesus who is outraged with us.
  7. The Lord comforts us through the church.
