Only the Suffering God can Help. - Bonhoeffer


As N.T. Wright says, “You don’t have to be able to answer the question “Why?” before the cross can have this effect. Think about it. You don’t have to understand music theory or acoustics to be moved by a wonderful violin solo. You don’t have to understand cooking before you can enjoy a good meal. In the same way, you don’t have to have a theory about why the cross is so powerful before you can be moved and changed, before you can know yourself loved and forgiven, because if Jesus’s death.”


How does the suffering Jesus impact our own suffering in real and tangible ways?
