A Groaning God in a Suffering World

I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun was setting. I felt a breath of melancholy- Suddenly the sky turned blood-red.

I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired – looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town.

My friends walked on - I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature.

The Presence of Evil If God is good, He would destroy evil If God is all-powerful, He could destroy evil But evil is not destroyed Thus, there is no God Reality of evil is manifest God’s power is demonstrated God’s goodness is shown …this man, delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put him to death (Acts 2:23; cf. 4:27-28)

The Possibility of Evil Why would an all-knowing God create a world with full awareness of the potential of suffering?

A Suffering God? Image of God Old Testament Passages (Gen. 3:10; 6:5-6; Hos. 11:7-9) Christ

God’s Passion Breadth: God’s choice to create is a choice to suffer Depth: God’s suffering more acute & intense than any other

The triumph of suffering love! My power is made perfect in weakness
