Human beings flee suffering. We move to safer neighbourhoods. We choose milder climates. We buy air conditioners. We take Aspirin. We come out of the rain. We avoid dark streets at night. We purify our water. So what is a Theology of Suffering, and why do we need one? The answer is simple. If you do not have it, you quit too soon, leave to early, check out when God says stay put. A city is not won by ease. Today, Pastor Marttunen is teaching the third part in our series on Revelation. We hear God speak to a Church built in the city that calls itself “the flower of Asia”. A city determined to extinguish the only light that can lead it to heaven. Today, we will learn that God‟s call to suffering is a call built on a clear view of Jesus Christ that willingly waits for the fruit God alone can make grow.
