The Revelation of God
in Human Suffering

by Wayne E. Oates

The chapters in this book are based on sermons delivered by Dr. Wayne Oates, each reflecting on the revelation of God in and through the context of a different aspect or type of human suffering.

Jesus' ministry was addressed to suffering people: it was the sick, in body or mind, who needed him as their physician. Over and over again he stressed this aspect of his mission. By pointing to his works of healing he implied to John that he was indeed the Anointed One. When he sent out his disciples, it was specifically to cure the sick and the spirit-possessed. When he delivered the parable of the judging shepherd, he taught that people would be rated according to how they had or had not ministered in practical and physical ways to their suffering fellow human beings.

Christian values are latent in suffering -- values, indeed, not to be experienced apart from suffering which alone brings us into a knowledge of the God "of all comfort." This revelation of God in and through our suffering binds us with all Christians in the fellowship of Christ's sufferings, issues in a disciplined community, develops our spiritual maturity, and relates us to one another on basically essential terms.
