[Book] Problem of Pain - C.S. Lewis

http://allaboutcslewis.com/2013/05/17/the-problem-of-pain/

I pick-up this book while I was working in HaeunDae.

It took me a week to read this book, and I read in Korean.

The context is complex.

But there are few things that I remember about this book.

One word to remember from this book is probably the last sentence of the book.

It says pain helps to show heroic ability or reveal such quality.

Some people may fall into deeper pain, but most of the people end up showing their heroic quality.

Pain helps people to strengthen their spirit, but that is not to say that pain is good all the time.

Romans 8:16 writes that the pain leads it to show God's glory, but we need to acknowledge some downfall that pain may lead into.

Anyway, people learn how to give-up themselves and learn how to give their ego instead of having strong self ego.

Lewis knew this.

He also talks about how heaven is very important. Its existence determines whether Christianity is truth or not truth.

Another thing was that people wanted to have full control of themselves while God created humanity for him. God created different 

beings to glorify him, and one of his creation, humanity, chose to rebel against God because it has free will although it should 

have been avoided? I am not sure....

The fall of humanity comes when we do not give up ourselves.

Thank you for helping me to write this short review haha... Thank you Lord.

Weekly Devotion: 1 King3: 6~12

Solomon's Prayer Then Solomon said, "You have shown great loving kindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted. So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?" It was pleasing in the sight of the LORD that Solomon had asked this things. God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor h
