ABUSE: FINDING HOPE IN CHRIST

THE GOSPEL FOR REAL LIFE SERIES

Author: John Henderson

None of us can escape the brokenness of our world.  We are sinful, hurting people surrounded by sinful, hurting people in a universe under the curse of sin.  The reality of physical and sexual abuse in our world is a blatant and painful proof of this brokenness.  What does the Gospel have to say when we are victims of evil?  How do we minister to those who have suffered abuse?

John Henderson provides Psalm 22 as a framework for responding to these questions and understanding how God comforts the afflicted through his Word, bringing it to bear in the life of the couple deeply affected by childhood sexual abuse.  Their example shows the beauty and light of the gospel, and how it brings hope and perspective in the darkest of our circumstances.
