Faithful in Egypt

THE LIFE OF JOSEPH SHOWS THAT LIVING ACCORDING TO GOD’S VALUES DOES NOT ALWAYS RESULT IN COMFORT, RECOGNITION, OR INSTANT REWARDS. IT CAN INCUR UNFAIR FRUITS OR PROVISIONAL MISERY. BUT STILL, SUCH A LIFE IS SIGNIFICANTLY MEANINGFUL, AS IT GLORIFIES GOD AND GIVES HIM THE CHANCE TO ACT THROUGH OUR INTEGRITY, ENDURANCE, AND COMPASSION.

The Christian attitude towards suffering

We often do not have answers to an untimely demise, heartbreaks and betrayals, divorces, and life-threatening diseases that come upon
us out of nowhere. A Christian’s attitude to worldly pains has a Biblical tint as we see life and its troubles through the spiritual glasses, and our view is in stark contrast to that of others.
