How do we live in a broken world full of pain and suffering? Where is God in the suffering that is all around us? What does Scripture say about this suffering? In this session of Secret Church 12, Pastor David Platt explains the evil and suffering in the broken world around us in the context of Scripture. The reality is, since the fall in Genesis 3, we have lived in a world full of evil, in which suffering is the global reality. In fact, Scripture is clear on the fact that we, specifically as Christians, will most certainly experience suffering in this lifetime. So if this is the reality, how do we live in such a world and still rejoice in the Lord? In this message, Pastor David Platt analyzes various biblical texts and several views of suffering and theology in order to gain a greater biblical perspective on suffering.
