In the darkest night of the soul, Christians have something to hold onto that Job never knew – we know Christ crucified. Christians have learned that when there seems to be no other evidence of God’s love, they cannot escape the cross. “He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all – how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Rom. 8:32)… When we suffer there will sometimes be mystery. Will there also be faith? Yes. If our attention is focused more on the cross and on the God of the cross than on the suffering itself.

Imagine

(After Christ)

Imagine us in heaven
With family and friends
Though hell’s below us
Our joy with God never ends

Imagine all the people
Living in God’s light (ah ah ah)

Imagine we forget bad –
The things we used to do
Someone to live your life for
Who loves you fiercely, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Always obey His commandments
If you want to enter life
There will be no tears, no thirst
No scorching heat, hunger, strife

Imagine life in heaven
Christ at right hand of God
Who will you bring there with you?
With their Savior have they trod?

Imagine all the people
Sharing in God’s love

Always obey His commandments
If you want to enter life
There will be no tears, no thirst
We will have abundant life
