The current novel coronavirus outbreak threatens to further prolong this troubling season of uncertainty and fear. Perhaps it is also a good time to think about what the Bible says about suffering so that when we do minister to those who are suffering, our words will not merely be encouraging but also contain theological substance\u2014so that those we minister to will not only be comforted but come to a better understanding of who God is, what He is like and that they can trust in Him.<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000It is sometimes surprising to me that the Church seems so ill-equipped to deal with suffering, when the Bible was mostly written by people who were writing from a place of weakness and helplessness and longed for deliverance. Suffering was often a result of their identity as God\u2019s people and their commitment to faithfully living out that identity (Jn 16:33; 1 Pt 4:12; Phil 1:29; Cf. Mark 10:28-31). It is important to remember that<em><strong> for Christians, there is always a spiritual dimension to what is going on, there is more than meets the eye<\/strong><\/em>. Jesus is able to say to the \u201cpoor in Spirit\u201d and the \u201cmeek\u201d and the \u201cmourning,\u201d \u201cBlessed are you!\u201d because there is more to reality than what we can see with our limited vision.<\/p><h3 class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #235ba8; font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Be Mindful of Our Words<\/strong><\/h3><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000However, <em><strong> attempts to theologize or explain away a person\u2019s suffering in a general way can sometimes cause more harm than good<\/strong><\/em>. When Job\u2019s three friends visit him after his tragedy, they did well by mourning with him and remaining silent for seven days and seven nights. (Jb 2:11-13) The problem was when they opened their mouths and tried to theologize Job\u2019s tragedy: \u201cJob, this was your fault.\u201d \u201cJob, you must have sinned.\u201d \u201cGod is punishing you.\u201d As it turns out, only God is wise and only God knows the reason behind human suffering. At the end of the story, God rebukes Job\u2019s friends for speaking foolishly and without knowledge. (Jb 42:7) Just because two things can be correlated does not mean that one thing causes the other. Consider the following statement: \u201c100% of people who breathe die.\u201d While it is true that everyone who dies breathed at one time, this does not mean that it is the act of breathing that causes death. In Luke 13:1-5, Jesus similarly warns against assigning blame and guilt to victims of calamities and accidents beyond their control. Jesus tells us it is unwise to speak for God in the midst of a tragedy; we should not make spiritual guesses about why bad things happen; instead, Jesus advises us to examine ourselves and to allow such tragedies to lead us to repentance. <em><strong> In the moment of their suffering, people do not need a theologian\u2019s explanation but rather a pastor\u2019s care. <\/strong><\/em><\/p><h3 class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #235ba8; font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Biblical Perspectives on Suffering<\/strong><\/h3><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000Be that as it may, although we are unable to explain why terrible things happen, Scripture does affirm that <em><strong>God is somehow able to cause something good to emerge from our difficult experiences, regardless of the cause<\/strong><\/em>. As Christians we are committed to this belief\u2014after all, God allowed Jesus\u2019 death on a cross to become an atonement for our sins, securing our salvation (Rom 5:10). According to the Apostle Paul, the Jewish people\u2019s initial rejection of the gospel, tragic as it may be, will lead to the Gentiles coming to faith. (Rom 11:11-12) Joseph\u2019s betrayal by his brothers was an unspeakable evil, but he was able to accept that God is able to use his brothers\u2019 actions, which they intended to harm him, to accomplish God\u2019s own divine purposes (Gn 45:4-15).<\/p><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000<em><strong>The New Testament is full of examples of godly results (not causes!) of faithful endurance in the midst of suffering. <\/strong><\/em> In the Book of James, suffering can cultivate endurance, which can make us mature and complete people so that we will receive the crown of life (Jas 1:2-4, 12). In Hebrews, suffering may be something that God allows in order to discipline those He loves, in order to produce fruits of righteousness and peace (Heb 12:1-11). In 1 Peter, the author suggests that suffering can have a redemptive purpose for the sake of others. Just us we have received healing and salvation because of Jesus\u2019 suffering on behalf of us, God may also use our suffering to bring redemption and wholeness to others in a way we do not expect (1 Pt 3:17-19; 2:22-24; 4:12-19) . In Revelation, the Lamb\u2019s sufferings are not a sign of His defeat; neither are they forgotten and ignored. Rather, the Lamb\u2019s wounds are a crucial part of the story of God\u2019s final victory over evil (Rv 5:9). In the same way, the suffering of the saints will not be forgotten (Rv 6:10; 7:14). At the appointed time, God will make all things new and put an end to evil, suffering, and even death (Rv 20:7-21:8).<\/p><h3 class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color: #235ba8; font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Walking with Those Who Are Suffering<\/strong><\/h3><p align=\"\u201cjustify\u201d\">\u3000\u3000<em><strong>While we should never callously \u201cexplain away\u201d the suffering of others, we can walk alongside our hurting brothers and sisters and, if and when the time is right, affirm what God is doing in their lives as a result of what has happened. <\/strong><\/em> As Job discovers, the reasons why calamity befalls us may be ultimately too mysterious, too difficult for us to comprehend. What people who are suffering need most is not an answer to why something happened but, how they are going to get through the tragedy. And I firmly believe that it is within the area of pastoral care and compassion that theologians, pastors and theological students have the most to offer to those who are suffering in the Church and in society.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5915d86 elementor-align-center elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5915d86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hkbts.edu.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/202005_eNews_Eng.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download PDF<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Lo, Assistant Professor of New Testament: Last year, social unrest caused by differing political views brought hardship to Christians and others in Hong Kong, severely impacting their lives. Now, the COVID-19 outbreak seems poised to prolong these uncertain and fearful days. Perhaps now is the right time to reflect on how the Bible speaks of suffering; so that when we truly serve those who suffer, our words will not only be inspiring but also theologically meaningful\u2014thus, those we serve will not only be comforted but will also gain a deeper understanding of who God is and what He is, and thus trust in Him. Sometimes, the church seems ill-equipped to face suffering, which surprises me, because the authors of the Bible were mostly in a state of weakness and helplessness, longing for salvation. They suffered often because they were God&#039;s people and because they lived out that identity faithfully (John 16:33; 1 Peter 4:12; Philippians 1:29; cf. Mark 10:28-31). It is crucial to remember that for Christians, there is often a spiritual dimension to things beyond what the naked eye can see. Jesus was able to say &quot;Blessed are you!&quot; to the &quot;poor in spirit,&quot; the &quot;meek,&quot; and the &quot;mourning&quot; because reality extends beyond what our limited perspectives reveal. Wisely walking with those who suffer is important, but attempting to imbue someone&#039;s suffering with theological meaning or to dismiss it with vague explanations can sometimes backfire. After Job&#039;s misfortune, three friends came to visit him. They initially did well, remaining silent and mourning with him for seven days and seven nights (Job 2:11-13). However, when they opened their mouths and tried to offer a theological explanation for Job&#039;s plight, problems arose: &quot;Job, you did something wrong,&quot; &quot;Job, you must have sinned,&quot; &quot;God is punishing you.&quot; It turned out that only God possessed wisdom, and only He knew the reasons behind human suffering. In the end, God rebuked Job&#039;s friends for their foolishness and lack of understanding (Job 42:7). Even if two things are related, it doesn&#039;t mean they are mutually causal. Consider this statement: &quot;Everyone who breathes will die.&quot; While it&#039;s true that everyone who dies has breathed, this doesn&#039;t mean that the act of breathing causes death. In Luke 13:1-5, Jesus similarly warns against blaming or assigning blame to victims of misfortunes or accidents beyond their control. Jesus tells us that it&#039;s unwise to act as God&#039;s spokesperson when tragedies occur; we shouldn&#039;t speculate on the spiritual reasons for unfortunate events. Instead, Jesus advises us to examine ourselves and let these tragedies lead us to repentance. In suffering, what people need is not theologian explanations, but the care of pastors. The Spiritual Aspects of Suffering However, even if we cannot explain &quot;why&quot; terrible things happen, the Bible shows that no matter what happens, God can always create good from our difficult experiences. As Christians, we firmly believe this\u2014after all, God also
