“I know whom I have believed”
Stan Jones, former Wheaton College Provost:
“God doesn't seem to be interested in getting off the hook. In fact, the answer of God in Jesus Christ to the problem of suffering is not to get off the hook at all, but rather to impale himself on the hook of human suffering with us in the very midst of our suffering. When trouble comes and places a giant question mark over our existence, we should remember Jesus and the empathy of the Cross.”

“and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.”

George Matheson, “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go”
“O Joy that seekest me through pain,I cannot close my heart to thee.I trace the rainbow through the rain,and feel the promise is not vain,that morn shall tearless be.”
