No one likes to suffer. It's unpleasant and painful. When suffering strikes, we beg God to take it away. Unfortunately, sometimes his answer is no. But Jesus suffered to give us his peace, forgiveness, and healing. He suffered to give us life forever.
As sinful humans, our vision is clouded. We often have no clue what God is doing. We don’t understand why things happen the way they do, but Jesus does.
Guilt can be a very powerful force in our lives, and it's often the result of our sin. This week, we'll see Jesus share a message of love and grace with a woman who felt the oppressive guilt of her own sins. It's the same message he has for you.
Jesus knew what it was like to be tempted. Just like us, he faced real temptations every day. Yet as the perfect Son of God, he was always able to resist those temptations and overcome for us.
