Misery – The Secret to Healing

We live in a culture that avoids pain at all costs. We dismiss, downplay, and demonize people who hurt differently than we do.

When we don’t feeeeeel it ourselves, it’s easy to write off other people’s pain:

“They’re lazy.”
“They’re weak.”
“They’re uneducated.”
“They’re illegal.”
“They’re immoral.”
“They deserve it.”

But if we’re unwilling to co-suffer, we will never truly follow Jesus.
