Even when all seems lost, we always have light in Jesus.
Isaiah 53:4–5; Luke 13:1–5; John 9:1–12; Romans 8:22–28, 35–39; 2 Corinthians 5:1–5; Hebrews 4:14–16; Revelation 21:1–4
For a person with mental illness, suffering is dramatically compounded when God seems far away. No matter how close God may feel in times of emotional wholeness, when the darkness of depression or delusion sets in, he can seem impossible to find. Kathryn Greene-McCreight, who suffers from bipolar disorder, tells us, “When I am depressed, every thought, every breath, every conscious moment hurts.”
“And yet the Christian faith has a word of real hope, especially for those who suffer mentally,” she tells us. In the very worst of times, clinging to the truth about Christ can make all the difference. This study reminds us of the hope we have in Christ, for now and for the future.
