“Why
should we be surprised, then, asked Luther, that our lives are often filled
with darkness and pain? Even God himself in Christ did not avoid that. But
though God’s purposes are often every bit as hidden and obscure as they were to
Job and to the observers at the foot of the cross, we— who have the teaching of
the Bible and have grasped the message of the Bible— know that the way up is
down. The way to power, freedom, and joy is through suffering, loss, and
sorrow.” -- Tim Keller
