John 15:13, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” This letter explores the profound concept of suffering as a pathway to redemption. Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, drawing parallels between Christ's ultimate sacrifice and passion.
Understanding that evil will not stop itself. We delve into the moral complexities of human conflict, using World War II as an example. The story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German priest who resisted Nazi oppression at great personal cost, is an illustration of standing up against evil. While God may not approve of war, there are circumstances where individuals must confront evil, and such actions can be viewed as noble and potentially honored by God, even if the circumstances are not perfectly clear-cut.
While good deeds do not guarantee salvation, acts of courage, self-sacrifice, and standing up for righteousness are potentially pleasing to God. The central theme is that suffering and redemption are interconnected, both in divine salvation and in human experience, with Jesus's cross serving as the ultimate model of sacrificial love.
Look out for our upcoming book "Confronting Evil in Our Time" which will be released this year.
