Neginoth
The essence of suffering has a mystery attached to it. Suffering for the gospel implies suffering together with the gospel. Suffering together with the gospel is to be in fellowship with the good news. Why is there so much suffering in the world? We don't know; but neither do we know what light is, what the atom is. But what we don't know now, we can know in the future.
Richard once asked a seven-year-old boy whether he knew what a logarithm was. The boy answered, "Yes, I do. A logarithm is something I will learn all about in high school."
The disciples did not understand the Christ in Jesus, but they believed in Him. This is why He said, "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me."
Accepting suffering is a question of trust.
The subtitle of the fourth psalm speaks of neginoth, meaning a stringed instrument; Richard believed it also meant the song of a person expressing the joy of being defeated.
