In a recent interview with Jim Daly, Ben Sasse answered several challenging questions about how to respond to suffering with both Christian faith and hope: "I don't want to be aggressive with the intellectualist rationalist side, but God tells us in Scripture everything we need to know for faith... and life, but He doesn't tell us everything we want to know or everything that we ultimately will know. And He is God. And to whom else would we go? So, I trust Him because He is who He is, and He has been faithful. And so, I won't get every answer this side of eternity... Death is an enemy. Death is wicked. But it's the final enemy. It's our last battle. And after that, there will be no more tears. And so, we will have these answers, and we will know that God used it for His good." Please keep praying for him and his family. (Full link below)show more

Whew. Thank you for sharing. I was not a huge fan of his political career, which is now (maybe always) irrelevant. He's being very generous with his time. Loving his neighbors. I'm trying to learn.

@MZHemingway Ben Sasse tried to ruin the US in the US Senate. May he find his peace..

You know death is coming for you too, just like everyone else, right? Where’s your humility or even just basic human decency? Repent and turn to Jesus Christ and you too can find peace as Ben Sasse has.

Still praying for Ben and his family.🙏🏻

God bless Ben Sasse and his family. I sure wish the Lord would take another and heal this dear man. I grieve for his wife and children. I pray Mr Sasse will find rest and peace as he journeys on. It’s so sad we lose the good ones.

Praying for Ben🙏🏻✝️♥️

@RichardGrenell All death can do to the believer is to usher him or her into the presence of Jesus. The best moment of a believer’s life is their last moment, because the next moment they will be in the presence of the King forever.

That is why Catholics keep the crucifix front and center. If you follow Christ, you MUST pick up your cross and follow Him. You will not escape the cross. Suffering is redemptive. By His cross we were saved. By our own crosses, we have a share in His redemptive mission.

My father died when I was 11. The hardest thing is to understand the pain of a child, as so well described here. It took years, but now I see that it gave me a life purpose: To be the person in the life of struggling athletes that I didn't have in mine. Full stop. I am grateful.

Basically the answer Francis Schaeffer gave when interviewed about his thought s on his cancer and Gods healing or not healing him.

@MZHemingway 🙏🏻✅

@RichardGrenell Praying for you @BenSasse and what a wonderful message of hope you give to all of us. Mother Angelica also taught me that suffering can have a purpose. Really good piece on the last 15 years of her life when she was confined to a bed due to illness

@MZHemingway 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@MZHemingway Praying for Ben and his adorable family. 🙏🏻✝️

@politicalelle He hates Trump. So who cares what he has to say if his judgment is so faulty.

Wow. So powerful. 🙏

@MZHemingway He voted to impeach President Trump, called Trump a sleezebag & said Trump flirted w/ white supremacists. I found Sasse’s politics & comments despicable & told him while he was a senator. One day we will all stand before God’s judgement & have to show Him how we used our talents.

This is a biblical view of healing and suffering. The opposite of the “Word of Faith” dogma.

So hard to watch... This could have been another Reagan. 💔

🙏

This man increases my zeal. I lift him up to the Savior. May the Lord richly bless him for reaching back to every soul that thirsts. 🎼The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. 🎼Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease: I shall possess, within the veil,a life of joy and peace. 🎼He will my shield and portion be! 🤌🌿🤌🌹🕊️🙏

@MeghanMcCain I’m glad he feels that way

🌿🤌🌹🙏

All I want to do right now is consume everything Ben Sasse contributes out there.

🙏❤️

@MZHemingway Beautiful

I have no doubt whatsoever that God is using Ben Sasse's death for His own good.

Which one is Ben?

The more you fall in love with keto, so that's you why questions. We know everything that we need to know.

Truly sad how quickly life can change. Didn’t always agree with this poor man, but may God bless him.

@RichardGrenell 🙏

prayers and strength Mr. Sasse is a great messenger!

Godspeed, Ben Sasse.

@MeghanMcCain 🥰🥰🥰
