The problem of evil and suffering will never go away as long as people understand their existence apart from Jesus. Outside of the God-man, there is no solace, only sound and fury signifying nothing. Suffering in faith doesn’t make the actual suffering less, but it does make it meaningful and hopeful.
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. –Hebrews 5:7-8
Even Jesus, a man with no sin, learned obedience through his trials, culminating in his horrific crucifixion. He loved and obeyed in the midst of a trial that no one else could endure, and because of this he can empathize, comfort and sustain all those who would turn to him for help. His shouts and tears reveal no stoic distance from the circumstances, but neither do they serve as accusations, distrust or cynicism toward his God.
