Suffering connected with Christ.

Without Christ, no suffering has meaning. Jesus combined incompatible realities on the first side, love for his father, and on the second side, love for man. It is as if we humans are incapable of loving this world and loving God at the same time. People want to live; they want to enjoy. Man becomes a slave to matter and rejects God. But then again, there are people. Those who are convinced that if I love God, I can’t love this world. But it is possible to love this world in God. God saves man by forgiving and sacrificing himself for man. The human perversity is that man rejects God, rejects his love. Man wants there to be no god. This is an absolute sin. God also forgives, for where sin has multiplied, your grace has multiplied still more.

In the past, when people were guilty. They recognized that they were sinners. They made sacrifices and begged God for forgiveness. Let us remember King David, who wrote in his psalm. I have sinned against you, sinned against you, and done evil in your eyes. But today’s modern man does not recognize sin. And that’s why he doesn’t even ask God for forgiveness. For many people, the fact that Jesus was crucified rose from the dead has no meaning.  They have entirely different values. They do not understand what God is doing. Today’s modern man wants to live without God. No, it’s not that today’s man wants to be against God. Practically, many people live as if God did not exist. People had a dilemma in the past: how much time to devote to work in this world and how much to God. Today, people have problems other than working efficiently to make this world a better place and bring me wealth and joy.
