“Something is funny, most of all, because it's true, and because the velocity of insight into this truth exceeds our normal standards. Something is funny because it's outside our accepted boundary of decorum. Something is funny because it defies our expectations. Something is funny because it offers a temporary reprieve from the hardship of seeing the world as it actually is. Something is funny because it is able to suggest gently that even the worst of our circumstances and sins is subject to eventual mercy.” WorldAbleSinSeeingWorstSubjectsCircumstancesOffersNormalStandardsExpectationsMercyInsightAcceptedBoundariesHardshipTemporaryExceedSeeing The WorldVelocityDecorumReprieve Author:Steve Almond
“Jesus doesn't give an explanation for the pain and sorrow of the world. He comes where the pain is most acute and takes it upon himself. Jesus doesn't explain why there is suffering, illness, and death in the world. He brings healing and hope. He doesn't allow the problem of evil to be the subject of a seminar. He allows evil to do its worst to him. He exhausts it, drains its power, and emerges with new life.” WorldGivingProblemChristianPainDeathSufferingEvilHopeJesusHealingPowerWorstSubjectsSorrowIllnessChristian InspirationalExplanationNew LifeDrainsSeminarsPain And SorrowProblem Of EvilIllness And Death Author:N.
