Suffering

Had the privilege of listening to a video by Matt Chandler last fall when he talked about the power of the resurrection and what it means for Christians. One of his asides in that video was to marvel at how Christians who should know better are often surprised when they run up against unpleasant situations. How can we be surprised by something that the Bible tells us over and over and over again that we will encounter suffering? Here is another video of Matt talking about suffering and what God is doing in the midst of suffering. This is such important stuff for us to understand.
