Exploring the Meaning and Transformation of Suffering in Christianity
Suffering in Christianity is seen as undergoing experiences in life, where undergoing life means accepting change and being open to transformation. Within suffering, there is also painful suffering, which is likened to the concept of 'no pain, no gain' where growth and transformation necessitate some parts of oneself to break or be changed. Meaningful suffering involves transforming painful suffering into a meaningful experience, as exemplified by the thief on the cross next to Jesus who, in the moment of crucifixion, shifted from meaningless pain to recognizing the meaningful purpose of his suffering. This narrative highlights that by embracing pain and directing it towards growth, suffering can lead to transformation and spiritual development.
