Sermon Discussion Questions:
1. We majored on Mary today, but who else comes to mind when you think of Bible characters who experienced pain? How does their story help to make sense of your own?

2. Are there ways you have seen God use pain for a larger purpose in your own life?

3. The notion of a God who becomes vulnerable is pretty scandalous! What parts of your life are the hardest for you to believe that God “gets it”?

4. How have you made sense of the experience of joy and suffering together in the Christian life? Are there ways you have experienced these two realities together?

5. How could we become better at understanding and moving toward others whose experience of pain is different from our own?
