The reason is sin. Like a crack in a screen, there is a flaw in the perfection of creation. All creation groans, we groan, the Spirit groans for the completion of redemption (⁠Romans 8:18-30⁠). It is not that suffering should not be minimized, it is that the glory of God’s redemption should be maximized (⁠2 Corinthians 4:16-18⁠). God will complete the good work He has started (⁠Philippians 1:6⁠).

We are not condemned, we are in union with Christ! So, set our mind on what Jesus had done, and walk according to His spirit. It is a ‘long and obedient walk in the same direction.’ Christian maturity is not independent strength, it is a dependance on God, more and more.

]]> We often think laws and rules are unnecessary, that we know better. Until we face a situation where the reasoning behind the law becomes clear.  We received the laws through Moses and they were meant to lead and guide us closer to God, our tutor or guide until Jesus came to fulfill His promise to Abraham. Jesus fulfilled the law. His sacrifice redeemed us from our transgressions so the distance between us and God could be closed permanently.

Well, the answer is sin. It all began at the fall. This event from Genesis has an impact to this day, globally, relationally and personally. Until sin is bitter Christ will not be sweat.
