Love or Self-Pity or Rage?
In the end, my aim, as I will make clear as we go along, is that you will be given the strength and courage of never-failing love toward all people, including your enemies (Matt. 5:43–44). “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Cor. 13:7). There will be much to endure. Without a way of seeing the world that can deal with massive evil and unremitting
pain under the supremacy of Christ, we will collapse in self-pity or rage. This is the opposite of love. If we are to endure and bear and believe and hope, we need to see the spectacular sins of history the way God sees them.
