Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are hopeful

and on the cross. So the suffering that I experience isn't something that he can't relate to.

I think it was Joni Erickson Tata that said something about that while God's sovereignty in her

suffering is a comfort, what she finds even more comforting

is God's solidarity in her suffering. And so we see that God was sovereign over Jesus' suffering
