In this episode, we continue our series on suffering by looking at what it means to be sinned against and how to respond as a Christian. Because of human sinfulness, people commit grievous acts that cause deep pain, from physical and emotional abuse to betrayal and injustice. Scripture provides many examples of such suffering—Joseph’s betrayal, Israel’s enslavement, David’s sin against Bathsheba and Uriah, and ultimately, Christ’s suffering on the cross. In all of this, though, we're reminded that God sees and will bring justice in His time (Romans 12:19, Psalm 37:7-9). While we are called to trust that He works all things for good (Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28), we also have a responsibility to seek justice when possible (Micah 6:8, Proverbs 31:8-9) and find strength in the body of Christ. Though pain is real, we endure with hope, knowing that God is at work and that one day, all suffering will end (Revelation 21:4).
