Reflections on the Agony and the Ecstasy of His Relentless Love
Is There a Purpose to Suffering And Loss? We only have to live to see or experience how agonizing life can be. We are surrounded by child abuse and neglect, starving families, premature deaths of those we love, natural disasters and global disease. How could a God worthy of respect and worship allow such a world to exist?
There are no simple answers. But there is hope. For, claims author Jim McGuiggan, suffering may in fact be the last thing we expect-an expression of God's wrath, which in turn is nothing other than his relentless, loving pursuit of us. If this is true, then suffering is a vital part of God's work to redeem his creation. Give this claim a hearing, and you just might see the suffering world in a new way-a world shot through with glory and hope and assurance.
