Suffering

The problem of evil and suffering is a question for many. The Bible touches on this issue in multiple passages. We may not know the exact reason why God allows suffering and evil but there is one thing we can be sure of, God absolutely cares!!! He cares so much that he came down in the likeness of man and suffered to the point of death. Not till you get to the cross of Jesus Christ will you know how far God was willing to go to show us this. Christ on the cross assured us that God cared so much that he was willing to come down and suffer in our place. The issue of suffering and evil is a difficult question, but you can rest assured that God does not ignore suffering. Why did God allow evil and suffering? The answer can't be that he does not care. He came, he walked with us, he suffered, and he was abandoned. Just look at the cross, God cares.
