Theology of the Cross

Theology of Glory

Me-Centered Gospel

God loves us, so He makes us the gift of suffering.

Through suffering, we release our hold on the toys of this world...

We're like blocks of stone, out of which the sculptor carves the forms of men.

The blows of His chisel, which hurt us so much, are what make us perfect.

The suffering in the world is not the failure of God's love for us; it is that love in action.

C.S. Lews

#1 We all live in a fallen world

Romans 5:12; Romans 8:22

The world that is, is not the world that was.

The world that is, is not the world that will be.

#2 Other's sin hurts us

1 Timothy 5:24

Romans 5:12

#3: The law of the harvest

What we sow we will reap

Galatians 6:7

James 1 14-15

The consequence of sin is death; death of relationships, integrity, honor; NOT just physical or spiritual death.

Application:

Embrace the Gospel of Suffering

"Jesus Christ didn't come into the world to make bad people good.  He came into the world to make dead people live."
