The prophet Jeremiah speaks of the incurable wound of his suffering yet finds in God\u2019s words the delight of his heart. When Peter doesn\u2019t grasp Jesus\u2019 words about suffering, Jesus tells the disciples they will find their lives in losing them. Such sacrificial love is described by Paul when he urges us to associate with the lowly and not repay evil with evil. In worship we gather as a community that we might offer ourselves for the sake of our suffering world.
