Yes, we both suffer together, though He suffers way beyond we can imagine, doesn’t he? A related thought, the thing I say in Trading Fathers (my memoir) is that the question is not, ultimately, “why do we suffer, but why does He suffer?" What does He see that we don’t see?
Sam, your comments always spark more thoughts from me! Thanks. Blessings on your worship today.
Hi Karen,
As I read your phrases of His knowledge of our suffering and His understanding of all we carry, I was struck by this thought:
Do I know what He has suffered, and do I know all He has carried?
I feel called (after reading your poem), I feel called to move my understanding of my suffering into re-narrating it into "suffering with Christ."
Thanks,
Sam
And, after rereading your comment, I’m interested in what the implication is for you of re-narrating it into “suffering with Christ.”
