- 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)
