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