What is the purpose of pain, the reason for scars?

Listen to Adrian Rogers.

Pain is there to tell us we need a savior.

We have a world today that doesn't want a savior, it wants a sedative.

That's the reason kids, many times they get off on drugs and other things.

Why? Because they don't want to have to face the pain.

And that's the reason that some people get off into adultery and fornication. That's the reason why people get drunk

to drown their problems. But the problem is those problems can swim. That's the reason why people

spend so much time watching perhaps the biggest sedative of all. It's television. But you see,

the pain is there to tell us that there is something drastically wrong.

We don't need a sedative.

We need a savior.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding, featuring the biblical insights and lessons of Pastor Adrian Rogers.

The Bible tells us when Jesus comes again,

we will see those scars he received from his sacrificial death.

In part one of today's message,

we learned that these scars tell us that as a man,

Jesus suffered.

These scars testify that he suffered for us

and still suffers with us in our grief and persecution.

We have a Savior who sympathizes in our pain and understands our hurt.

If you have your Bible, turn now to John chapter 20.
