Hear Joni powerfully discover how the Savior on the cross truly understands her suffering—offering hope if you’re questioning God in your pain.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And after my diving accident, I could not wrap my head around this idea of God’s sovereignty or overarching decrees. None of it made sense to this 17-year-old, spinal cord injured teenager. That is, until a friend told me, “Joni, your paralysis is a little like the Lord’s. Because he was paralyzed on the cross. He could not scratch his head; he could not wipe his eyes. Maybe he understands what you feel.” Oh, my goodness, the supreme God of the universe resonates with me? He understands, he gets it? Maybe you, too, are questioning God. If so, Jesus encourages you—as he did to Thomas the disciple in John 20—Jesus encourages you to “see” and “touch” his marred hands and “not disbelieve but believe.” And then, contact us at joniradio.org. Let us encourage you, as my friend did to me, as you navigate through the road of hardship.
