- suffering:

- "Suffering has meant something entirely different to Christians than it does to all the rest of the world. The Lord 'turned the rock into a pool,' sings Psalm 114:8, 'the hard rock into springs of water.' And so it happens that out of the least likely of sources-the granite of suffering-God brings the living water of life. To deny that suffering of all kinds has not only a legitimate but a central place in Christianity is to deny the gospel." (Mike Mason, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOB, © 1994 Zondervan, p. 256)
