This is the second of two messages dedicated to Jennifer Uwarow. It considers what faith actually is and what it means to live a life of faith, but it most importantly addresses the crucial role that suffering plays in the nurture and perfecting of the Christian's faith. To many Christians, suffering is an unavoidable evil in a world cursed by sin; it is something God is removed from and laments as much as the person enduring it. For other believers, suffering is treated as an incomprehensible work of divine sovereignty - something, not to be understood, but endured in compliant resignation. But Paul understood suffering in a an entirely different way. It lies at the heart of God's wise, good and merciful work in perfecting His own life and likeness in His image-sons. Suffering isn't "just the way it is in a fallen world"; it is the wisdom and love of a heavenly Father; it is the way in which the Father's children learn and grow up in their sonship, even as it was with the spotless Son.
