Questions about Suffering?

If you go to this link and scroll down to the first sermon listed by John Piper called "Subjected to Hope" it will blow your mind. In it he unpacks why we experience suffering even though our hearts have been freed by Christ and explains what was part of the curse of our sin verses how God uses suffering for His purposes. It is well, well worth 45 minutes of your time. I have three little kids and a short lunch "break" each day and I am so glad I sat here on the couch, listened to this and took notes. This sermon was given to the Matt Chandler's church, The Village, in Texas.
