## Resource

Suffering is not always evidence of God’s judgment—in the hands of a sovereign God, it can purify faith, deepen dependence, cultivate compassion, and strengthen our testimony. Dr. Michael Youssef explains how Jesus corrected false assumptions about suffering while calling every person to repentance and faith in Him.
