Some moral, difficulties of the Bible

introduction by the Lord Bishop of Durham

Why does God allow suffering? How poor the world would be without it! We could then never have rejoiced in the tribulations which bring in their train the virtues of endurance and experience, and issue in the hope that maketh not ashamed (Rom5:4,5). No suffering! Then we should never have known a mother’s selfsacrificing love; and such words as “sympathy,” “heroism” and “courage” would be unknown. There would never have been a Victoria Cross or a George Cross, for their 7 would never have been a Cross of Calvary. It is indeed beyond our understanding; but those who know what it is to have been crucified with Christ, and to rise again with Him to a new life, can “rejoice about partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that when his glory shall be revealed (they) may be glad also with exceeding joy” (1Peter 4:13).
