I keep returning to this fact about Jesus because both as a Christian and as a writer I have spent a disproportionate share of my time exploring the mysteries of pain and suffering. I come away with as many questions as answers. Nonetheless, I have learned one important principle: not to judge God by some misfortune that befalls me or someone I love. My questions about providence and suffering are primarily answered in the person of Jesus, not in day-to-day events I may encounter now.
