AB - In Postmodern society, there is no way of escaping from facing problems and crises and suffering as a result. Crisis and trouble causes us to feel the feeling of desertedness, anger, frustration and loneliness. It also lead us to doubt about the love of God, anger to God and shake our identity. However, through suffering if we recognize our limitation as creature, and seek God’s involvement in our life,we can assure the love of God for us through redemptive work (incarnation,suffering, death and resurrection) of Jesus. Also, we certainly can experience the presence of God with us in the middle of deserted feeling of the absence of God and therefore we can recover the intimacy with God. In this perspective suffering as a testing period of our identity as a believer, suffering can give us the meaning and value of our life, and it enables us to possess new and wider perspective and attitude to life and other human beings and to our living God.
