God sending his only son was not above the human condition. He was not above human suffering. Jesus experienced grief, sorrow, sadness, and even stress in his everyday life. God enters our suffering with us and he experiences it with us. It's how we respond that we make meaning of suffering.  

We invite you to take part in season 1 of, Behold. A content series exploring our true identity as beloved sons and daughters of God, using the model of relationship identity, and mission. We begin with our relationship with God, which tells us what our true identity is and how our mission flows from that understanding. This model is what was revealed to us by Jesus, and prepares us and sends us out on a mission.
