Ch 8: Suffering, Justice and Knowing God

-
-
Paradox: unless we get involved in the messiness we risk becoming stained by the world we seek to avoid
Jesus welcomed the oppressed and outcasts, even when it brought questions of his reputations
We are the poor, the wounded, the needy.
cultural unstained = distancing ourselves from those most troubled in society, those most in need

Quotes
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich" - 2 Corinthians 8:9 (p. 82)
“Divine splendor and holy tenderness perfectly comes together in this psalm as it calls us to praise God for his beauty, the beauty that bends from above" (p.82)
Compassion
Is at the heart of our pursuit of God because it cultivates, sustains and protects us against false worship
We must acknowledge that God is gracious and loving Lord of all of life, not just performances
