VOL. 8, NO. 2 | A Vale of Tears: Suffering as a Mark of This Age

The subject of this issue of Modern Reformation is suffering. We have all experienced some of the big disappointments, betrayals, surprising deaths of friends and family members. But who would qualify to lecture someone about pain or the problem of evil in general? As pastors and as laypeople we encounter people who have more experience with suffering than we ever will in our lifetime. But our Savior has experienced suffering that far exceeds anything that anyone has known before or since. Christians may not be able to unravel the problem of evil to the satisfaction of everyone in the world, but they can speak with confidence in the One who was crushed for our iniquities and by whose stripes we are healed.
