Title

Our Pre-Existing Condition

Description

Jesus dismissed the possibility that sin could be the cause of the man’s suffering. No one was to blame for the suffering— not the man, his parents, or even God! Jesus reduced suffering to a morally neutral fact. Suffering cannot be explained by sin, and it is not caused by God. However, God can work through suffering to bring injustice into the light and create change, transformation, new birth, and new creation. Suffering breaks God’s heart, and God has a preferential love for those who suffer, which is why God draws near to the suffering in order to embrace them with love, comfort, and peace.
