As the Old Testament prophet cries out, “You have deserted the God of your fathers and provoked him to anger …”, so Paul cries out to all of us, “Don't put up with nonsense, preach Christ, stay focused”. When we truly know Christ we don't have to ask the questions “why God?” because all of our questions are answered at the cross. Yes, there is suffering in our faith but Christ endured the suffering of the Cross. He suffered the loss of all things for the sake of righteousness. We can expect no less because he draws us into a higher place. His presence. There are consequences to upholding Christ and I must be ready at all times to stand in these.
