Theology
"And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation which
is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer or
whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation."
(II Corinthians 1:6, KJV)
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; knowing
this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her
perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
(James 1:2-4, KJV)
Hurt in the World Today
- Demographics illustrate globally that there are countless billions of people who suffer in diverse ways originating from the fall of Adam and Eve. How do you rise, move forward, overcome, and heal when you’re hurting? How do you help when a crisis or negative situation happens to upright or righteous people? How do you explain pain and suffering to someone consumed with the circumstance? For instance, the Apostle Paul personifies a picture of incredible sufferings, trials, tribulations, and persecution as ascribed in II Corinthians 1:6. It is inevitable that humanity will face trials and tribulations in life according to James 1:1-4 and can count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.
What’s more, as helpers, caregivers, imitators of Jesus, servants, ministers, and Christ-centered counselors, we must possess the ability to help hurting people heal from these times of pain, suffering, pressure, and distress by giving timely―answers, guidance, direction, and tools during life’s most perplexing situations. As a counselor, you cannot afford not to possess the ability to minister to others in the area of pain and suffering.
First, as a Christian and then as a counselor, you can rest assured that sometime in your life, in counseling practice, ministry, or spiritual walk, you will experience pain, suffering, pressure, and distress. Second, if you have not already experienced this, and if you have the mind of Christ,
