Wisdom from Jeff Cavins

When we understand suffering, we’re also the people who bring relief of suffering to people because we understand it, because we understand the value of it, because we understand the redemptive value. It’s almost like a mystery, it’s a double-edged type thing. On the one hand, it’s redemptive; on the other hand, we relieve it because we understand it. We act like Christ, that is, people are healed and delivered, but also people learn to live by grace in the midst of the ordeal.
