Experience of Suffering as a Trial of Hope and Trust in God

Abstract

Experience of pain and suffering is a border situation in one’s life. Both for the believers and for the unbelievers it is a deep shock, which has its consequences in the life of a particular person as well as in their relationships with others. For the people who believe experience of suffering can become a trial of hope and trust in God. Adopting the right stance facing suffering allows the person to revalue its meaning and additionally to find the answers for the most fundamental questions which suffering raise. The source of hope and trust for Christians is the risen Christ, who accepting suffering through love, added redeeming value to it. Suffering lived with Christ enriches a human being and allows him / her to mirror the only begotten Son of God.
