Isaiah 52:14 states: As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men...
Whenever we question suffering and why it needs to be on this earth today; the ultimate question may be why did God's Son have to suffer beyond any other in creation? Again; the physical death would have been nothing compared to the sweat of drops of blood considering His upcoming separation from the Father and taking on our sins onto Himself. This atonement is perhaps the biggest reason suffering needs be; it all began with the fall of man and it's ripple effect in all Creation but God in His infinite wisdom knew that this atonement needed to happen to restore all things to Himself ( Acts 3:21).
One could; of course look at all of human history as one would view a screen play; full of drama; pathos and various characters of antagonist or protagonist leanings. This helps us to examine God's overall "emotions" (again reducing things to a human level to comprehend characteristics of the Godhead). If we were to examine our free will in the midst of this it could be crudely compared to a rogue actor doing some unscripted scene which is confined to the small time allotted for the play to act itself out.
This shows how we as humans cannot ultimately change the course of predetermined events; but also that we are not robots ourselves who are always bound to the same script but all have individual roles to play and also how all of us are interconnected to each other. This results in all who are His own on "stage right" as it were and the rest on "stage left". Proverbs 3:6 says in all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your steps (I believe that is one translation).
When we look to the Apostle Paul's declaration that the sufferings of the present time are nothing compared to the glory to come ( Romans 8:18) we see that the joys of heaven will therefore be so much the greater after the harvest from today's brief trials
Thank you! Good reading, as always. Can I ask a favor? I'd like to learn, in depth, on end times. Will you teach us about that? You may have in past but I have been off here for some time. Thank you for all your great readings.
Prayers & Thanks! Things are good. I'm a home health care nurse for a friend & got my job back working for this City part time. Nice to be back on here with true believers, in Southern Utah that's hard to find. In need of prayer for my kids however, at least oldest 2. One is slipping away from Jesus & another thinks their bi. God bless & thnx again, Texsis
Happy to pray for your children. My three sons are away from the Lord and need to be "prayed back to the Father" in the sense of being prodigals and as believing parents we are called to persist in pray to God until He answers our sincere prayers for those we love to return to Him by the drawing of the Holy Spirit. It is hard at times since I think of all the valuable family time in believing fellowship that has been lost while they are out "prodigaling" but even more so that they are not in fellowship with God. But I trust that God hears all my prayers and He has tarried in this request for a reason. But I want to be faithful in prayer and hopeful concerning the promises we have in Christ concerning our prayers being answered according to the will of the Father.
