also believe a theology of suffering is relevant to the idea of redemption. There’s something about suffering that brings out grace, gratitude, and faith. I think many in our society have tended to develop an attitude of entitlement: I am entitled to happiness. I am entitled to so and so. I deserve a Mercedes because the commercial says I deserve it. We really need to evaluate the concept of entitlement. In doing so, we need to understand indebtedness and lostness and dependence and accountability.
