Friendships fracture over footnotes. Fellowship dissolves over phrases. And suddenly, someone you shared communion with last month is now an “apostate” because they prefer a different Bible translation or dared to think that just maybe there is no such thing as a pre-tribulation rapture.
We think that because our suffering is “lesser,” it should be ignored or shoved down. But the Bible knows nothing of such stoicism. This is no game of comparative agony; it’s a reminder that God’s mercy applies to the smallest inconvenience as well as the greatest tragedy.
