We want a God that puts an end to suffering not one who wills it. The glory of the cross though is not about God putting an end to suffering. As long as we are in this earthly life there will be suffering. The glory of the cross is that love survives even in the midst of suffering. During World War II, a young resistance worker named Simone Weil discovered this truth.
Christian faith has nothing to do with the removal of suffering.
It offers no 'supernatural remedy for suffering,' she wrote. He could have kept quiet and taught secretly away from those who were threatened by this good news, but he did not. Even if it meant painful and humiliating death he would be true to the call of God in his life. What the cross teaches us is that God's power is not the power to force human choices and end human pain. Because even in the midst of suffering and pain God's love prevails.
