Pain is universal. It does not discriminate based on class, income, education, age, gender or race. Pain is a part of life -- an essential part of life. We can't avoid it. We actually need it. It is a signal, an indicator that something is wrong or something needs to be changed. Pain speaks a universal language that ALL can understand, and forces us to act. It is the same in our spiritual walk with Christ. Some have misunderstood their new life in Christ and believed they would escape pain or somehow just breeze through it. Our new nature in Christ equips us to look at pain differently and use it differently than the world , however it does not make us immune to it.
Jesus Christ is the WORD.
