About This Quote

In the Christian tradition, the Bible is a book of divine revelation. God’s revelation reaches its climax in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The Father loves his Son so much that he sends him to earth to be born among us as a human being. The Son experiences suffering and death on earth because it is part of his mission, which is to redeem suffering and suffering people from sin.

In other words, suffering is a gift from God. This realisation helps us to understand that faith—the key to understanding God’s love—is also a gift from God.
