How can we deal with pain – not just our own, but the pain of millions in this world? Skeptics attack the idea of God because of pain; Christians doubt His power or goodness. We wrack our brains for a reason for it all. Can Scripture help?

Pain: It Goes with Life
· It signals birth; it welcomes death
· It tells us we’re growing physically – and other ways
· It makes us question God…and paradoxically points to Him!

God Who Became Man…and Endured Pain (Matthew 26-27)
· The pain Jesus suffered

· Why Jesus suffered (see Heb 2:10-18; 4:14-16)


God’s Purposes in Pain (2 Cor 1:3-11)
· That we might be able to comfort others

· That we might not trust in ourselves

· That we might learn to thank God in everything



On the way to where there is no more pain…



“God whispers to us in our pleasures…
but shouts in our pains…”
- C. S. Lewis
