Transfigured in suffering
OUR Christian faith views suffering as an intrinsic part of the human experience due to the existence of sin and brokenness in the world.
Nonetheless, it also holds a distinct perspective on suffering, recognizing that it can have a redemptive purpose in one’s life.
We Christians believe Jesus Christ underwent immense suffering, including physical torture, rejection, and death on the cross.
Through his suffering and death, they believe Jesus atoned for humanity’s sins and paved the way to eternal life.
Moreover, we believe that suffering can help one develop faith and foster a deeper relationship with God. It can also instill empathy and compassion towards others who are undergoing hardship.
Christians are called to share one another’s burdens and console those who are suffering, following the example of Jesus Christ. Suffering is not the final chapter.
