How long, O Lord? (Suffering in the meantime)
Manage episode 477717243 series 2974162
How are we supposed to survive this crazy world while we wait for God to redeem us and bring us home?
In today’s conversation, the gang wrestles through the question of how to endure life in the meantime between the cross and our eventual resurrection. They sit with Psalm 13 and reflect on the relatability in the psalmist’s words, “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?” This passage launches the group off, talking about how difficult (and dangerous) it is to give an answer for the suffering we experience in life. The conversation finds its focal point in Jesus’ passion and how he endured suffering alone so that we wouldn’t have to.
Jesus suffered through hell for you and he promises to be with you through all of your own suffering.
