The Grand Inquisitor

Alosha Ivan says he will not worship a God who allows people to hurt. Nehemiah claims that Alosha's commitment to God's goodness allows him to fully enter into the mystery of suffering and participate in it I don't want to understand why we suffer what I care deeply about is has God done something about it, writes Peter Hitchens. Jesus truly is our sympathetic high priest but this vision of God happened was already in play before Jesus even walked on the earth according toHitchens. The cross will always be a picture of God's willingness to enter into the brokenness of humanity and make it his own.
