A pastoral encounter

I was glad to be of pastoral assistance to one of our weaker members today. I'm sure she won't mind me sharing it with you.
Shirley came round, concerned about the concept of salvation. She seems to understand that Our Lord suffered for our transgressions, and that by His stripes we are healed. But wanted to know - does he share in our sorrows?
And I assured her - "Shirley, Shirley, he has born our griefs."

  1. I trust that Shirley surely understands this now after your rea-shir-ance.
