Is your Theology of Suffering Correct?


(5 stars; 1 reviews)

A theology of something means you look at that thing in its big perspective. To get a proper understanding of the theology of suffering, for example, you ask questions like: what is the purpose of suffering? Where does suffering come from? What does it accomplish? How is God related to suffering? What is God doing in suffering? That is what we mean by a theology of   suffering.  If you derive your understanding of suffering on the basis of Job chapters 1-31, you will end up with a theology of suffering that recognizes the following basic facts:(1) God rule, (2) God is just and wise; (3) God's ways are hard to understand but (4) in the age to come, all wrongs will be righted and justice will be established. (5) God has loved us and saved us in Christ. (6) Trust God in your suffering. This theology is not bad, but it is a narrow, partial and inadequate theology of suffering. In this message , Dr. David Eby brings to our attention a complete and adequate theology of suffering that he expounds to us in the context of the Speech of Elihu in Job 32-37 and the rest of the Bible. Let us listen to him as he teaches us the word of God.
