Philip Yancey Quotes
Bear One Another's Burdens, The Bible Says. It Is A Lesson About Pain That We All Can Agree On. Some Of Us Will Not See Pain As A Gift; Some Will Always Accuse God Of Being Unfair For Allowing It. But, The Fact Is, Pain And Suffering Are Here Among Us, And We Need To Respond In Some Way. The Response Jesus Gave Was To Bear The Burdens Of Those He Touched. To Live In The World As His Body, His Emotional Incarnation, We Must Follow His Example. The Image Of The Body Accurately Portrays How God Is Working In The World. Sometimes He Does Enter In, Occasionally By Performing Miracles, And Often By Giving Supernatural Strength To Those In Need. But Mainly He Relies On Us, His Agents, To Do His Work In The World.We Are Asked To Live Out The Life Of Christ In The World, Not Just To Refer Back To It Or Describe It.We Announce His Message, Work For Justice, Pray For Mercy . . . And Suffer With The Sufferers.
