It makes sense that people who follow the Man of Sorrows, a man who was “acquainted with grief,” are also acquainted with grief (Isa. 53:3 ESV). We don’t run away from it. We run toward it. And we run toward it knowing full well that people may thrash about, scream, punch, kick, curse, cry, and yell at God and us . . . and then, when they look up, wondering, Are you still there? . . . we’re still there. That’s because when we’re at our best, you can kick and punch, sure, but you can’t offend us.
