Undeserved Suffering and the Atonement




From the book "I Need Thee Every Hour" by David P. Vandagriff

"Jesus Christ is the God of broken people, the God of the hopeless . . . the God of those who weep without ceasing. He is also and always will be the God of fresh starts, the God of new lives, the God of inner peace. His greatest ministry is where there is the greatest pain. There is no place so dark that He will not enter and bring a gentle and warming light.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28)

"Whose wounds and scars does Christ carry on His body? Whose pains did He endure? They are our wounds, our scars, our pains. We cannot tell Him anything about our suffering that He does not already know in the deepest part of His soul."
