Quote by R.C. Sproul
“Whenever a person experiences a stabbing pain, he is alarmed. He is uncomfortable because of it, so he seeks immediate relief. He might get painkillers to try o get rid of that uncomfortable feeling. Yet from a physical perspective, pain is an extremely important reality, because pain signals to us that there is something wrong, and if we cover up the pain, we could be covering up a life threatening illness. Though we no longer suffer from the torment of pain, we may be moving in a deadly direction.”
