John 11:1–45
“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” —C.S. Lewis
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” —John 11:21
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” —John 11:25-26
In Christ, we are never alone in our suffering.
In Christ, our suffering is never wasted.
In Christ, all suffering will one day end.
