Sometimes pain seems meaningless, but in Christ, every millisecond of your suffering is producing for you an eternal weight of glory. How do we respond when life seems meaningless? When the suffering hits and the wave of suffering we feel seems, itself, to be totally pointless, what then?

A listener named Jared sent it in as a clip he loves, and it’s a clip many of you will recognize because it became a clip that got embedded into a Shane & Shane song, “Though You Slay Me.” Most of you have heard that song because the music video has now surpassed seven million plays on YouTube. It’s an incredible song and a powerful music video I know God has used in many of your lives, watching through a veil of tears. And all of it is rooted in one sermon everyone should listen to at some point. For now, here’s an extended clip from Pastor John’s 2013 sermon.
