Tim Keller - Human Condition: Living When Life Hurts 

God’s love was powerfully shown through this amazing preacher, and I’m so thankful that even after his passing, I can still listen to his sermons and continue learning about God’s love.

Tim Keller knew suffering first hand. His insights have helped me to cope and have given me hope Romans 8:28.

In my opinion, Keller is one of the best preachers of our time. God has given him so much wisdom!

Great sermon

Suffering is the result of Adam &Eve eating the fruit of knowing good and evil. God preceded evil then why would God allow this fruit into the garden? The answer is God needs us to choose love .There is nothing more miraculous than choosing good . God would not have it any other way. It’s not about the suffering but rather us willingly choosing God.

"If I have you by the hand, even death is just a nice night's sleep." WOW!

Seeking justice without forgiveness first is simply vengeance! How true...yet, how difficult a task! As always, thank you for sharing God's wisdom Tim!

If Rev. Tim Keller was an Orthodox or a Catholic, they would have already officially proclaim him as a Canonized Saint of the Church. I hope the Protestants will not forget him and his beautiful Theology and Legacy.

Since I became born again in 2019 I got to experience the immense blessings of God. He has been kind to me in every area of my life, changed who I am and blessed me with more than I could have ever asked. But lately I’ve been faced with the reality of death, and that all the people I love will die. It made me question, why am I receiving such beautiful blessings, why are flowers so beautifully made, and the sun always rises and warms me; and then there is the overwhelming fact that my mom, brothers, and children will die. Why? But learning about suffering is very helpfully to understanding that this world was never meant to be my home. And suffering doesn’t diminish Gods love for me. I somehow, being a young Christian amongst God’s blessings expected only good things and a pain free life with God. But I’m hopeful to keep learning about God and the meaning and purpose of life and suffering.

My pastor talks only about healing. Nothing about suffering which is biblical. I live a life of horrible pain after suffering reactions to COvid. Awful. Suffering to some accuse us of being on sin. I don’t know how many times people have said that to me. It makes me feel so bad.

People use Christians who don’t live up to standard as the reason for not believing in Christianity. I see their point. Although there are may Christians who inspire and many who disappoint, every Christian on the planet doesn’t live up to the standard that’s why Jesus came. Instead look at Jesus’ life in the gospels and use that as why you would believe or not. He ultimately is the one who saves you in the end. I would use someone who claimed to be God as my standard. The rest of us he promises to keep working on us and with us until that day. The kind of love Christ demonstrated when He was here has not been seen before or since. This is the love that changes lives!!

one of the first talks on Christianity that I find profound. He is clear and thoughtful.

Suffering is an important aspect in a christians life because it humbles us. God taught us a great lesson in the life of Job.

Timothy does a great job explaining all of his sermons. He gets it

Hearing this talk was freeing. Keller did a great job at reminding us that Jesus truly weeps with His beloved. Beautiful

This is such a fantastic public lecture by Tim Keller. Simply amazing! Loved it!

Tim you know it All, His will be done! You have won my heart , you answered exactly what l was struggling with after losing my beloved wife 39 yrs . Amazing man of God you answered everything. Lord be with you 🙏

I am so glad your sermons are on RU-vid. I have been listening to you on the radio. Moreover, I hope you are doing ok. ❤🙏

My dad would always keeping telling us to follow God so i always grew up on some speaking to me on the weekend now listing to him

AMEN!! only our God has suffered for us & knows our pain. Praise God

MY LIFE has become sooo painful. EVERYDAY its something else. I am filled with fear daily. It won't stop. Its not physical either. I am a smart girl age 58, raised decently, well, technically without parents as my mom died at age 9. Dad checked out after that, he remarried a year later. Just need Him to come back nOW.

Thank you for this amazing and timely message.. thanking God for his sovereign grace in all forms of suffering.

"she spent all her money on doctors and they only made it worse" lol how typical

Thank you for a beautiful message... Your message goes hand in hand with the book I am reading how to forgive what you can't forget.

Christianity s h o u l d provide healing, help from brothers and sisters.

Would be so interesting to see a long discussion between Keller and Jordan “life is suffering” Peterson.

If you get a brand new car, right from the dealership, and on the first drive the brakes fail and u crash, its dumb to go from that to say “no one made this car.” Instead we should say “something went wrong.” Same with God. Suffering, natural disasters, death... just because they happen u cant jump from that to “there is no God.” You have to seek out and figure out what went wrong.

Ys would be great to hear Tim and Jordan . Plus with Richard Rohr

Amazing, thank you Tim 😢❤

Thank you for sharing this video !

I believe un answer prayers are God spearing us , or God is gonna give us something greater, or he’s trying to have us mature in our walks in faith .

As I walk with my wife to another home...after loss of much friendship and support...this message from Doctor Keller is comfort.

you will be my kingdom of priests Exodus 19:6 . be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ 1 Peter 2:5 . you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood 1 Peter 2:9 . You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God Revelation 5:10 . I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. 1 Samuel 2 . there is neither male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 . according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: Peter 1 . you have come to... the sprinkled blood Hebrews 12 . To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Peter 1 . His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to His own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. 2 Peter 1

Its all hear say till actial Jesus show up or sctially exsist. In Bible Jesus even said to guy with just lipservice stay away from me and to who actally had deed & action thank you what he did was to other was did to him. From this content he horner not hypicrats or lip service(story teller withoutaction) So according to his speach need actall deed or apparence in action not just story only But we do not see his actall appearance. Jesus hated phypicrats teacher back then so am I . because phipicracy create so much pain suffaring in our world. That is not call love His last commendment befor his cross Bible story so many doesnt obey today His ladt commendment was love eachother, not lie to each other not be phypicrat or not be only lip service egoistic.

All of this talk about having an identity is part of the lower nature and the ego even though it does make life more enjoyable. I lost all of my identification as a city Street photographer in Chicago when I had to leave and go to another state and I really miss my home. I got depressed and even into substance abuse to numb the pain, no matter what I guess God predestined that for some reason

...BB Warfield wrote an article called, The Emotional Life of Our Lord..and all it is is an in depth, detailed look at every place in the New Testament gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, - where ever it talks about the emotional life of Jesus...when he analysed it, far more than any other emotion, Jesus Christ is a Man of Sorrows. He's the Savior, but he is NOT Stoic. He's always weeping, He's always grieving, He's always moved with compassion, which is really a form of grief...Tim Keller's message, The Human Condition: Living When Life Hurts

I wish someone would address the topic of suffering from the Bible.

There are evil and suffering bc a perfect world would be boring? This is already the best we could have? The devil sinned even in heaven. So... could we have not sinned. I guess it was impossible

It is difficult to find your idenity when you get older.

The sad commentary on the reporter who said her research of those doing the most dangerous things to help others, caused her to recognize her secular view as causing her to be more upset over the suffering of others than those with a faith in the supernatural. This sounds like the reason so many in the U.S.A. are subject to "virtue signalling." If you believe your cause is just so stronly that you do not care to even hear the voices of those with a different take, you have a problem. But their "just causes" do not have thae proper godly, moral backing. The sad part to me is that she seems to be acting like you are born secular, so there you go. She instead should be noting the superiority of the godly view of the world and seek toward that herself. Matthew 6 :33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God is the appropriate goal for every person on earth.

The church doesn't fail. Member's of Jesus kningdom, the church, can fail. Individual congregations can fail. But the church that Jesus built will never fail! Matthew 16:15

RIP Keller

He’s my favorite teacher but I don’t like how he described the girl as near dead. What is this, The Princess Bride? Was she mostly dead? The text says she was dead. Period.

Great challenge!

But if God is a weeping savior, and he can know our sufferings before they happen, plus he loves us so much, does it mean that he is sad all the time? I mean if he is all knowing then he isn’t like what they say, he can’t be sad all the time for all these ppl that have existed and now exist. But if he isn’t why would some ppl at church always tell me when I’m sad that Jesus is sad that I’m sad, to show he cares? That he’s walking me through. It seems to me that it’ll just be too much for Jesus? I dunno. N when pastor Keller talks about how we leave God n all horrible things happened to us is like Hindu saying it’s not ur fault or what u did in this life. Is something I don know if I did. I just know I was designed this way. That I’m able to sin, maybe even sinning without knowing. N if the price to get back to God is to carry your own cross there’s no freedom in it nor given for free. For something so horrible happened to leave the one who loves me n now I have no choice because I was designed a certain way to thrive. And if I don’t get back to HIM horrible things will keep happening to me. N we learn the wisdom in the New Testament from Jesus to deal w. different kinds of ppl bc the pastors say it’s wise. But if u try to apply it in real life sometimes it doesn’t work as u would think bc my ppl could be worse(or maybe ppl in the world nowadays r worse in general) n u get hurt n mistreated bc of ur naivety.

Wow. "anti-fragile." I'm all for a neologism when one is called for, such as "milktoastmaster," a weak public speaker, or "shuckster," a humble, but disingenuous salesman. We're fortunate that English has words like flexible, yielding, elastic and even the overused "tough," that have multiple connotations and ample meaning. I feel like we're always dumbing down the message. It's essential that we speak clearly and in a way all can understand, but we are God's workmanship, his artistry, and we are epistles of flesh, the living letters written to mankind. We need not only to convince the outsider, we need to inspire. There is beauty in holiness.

When I committed to studying God's Word, I found that He has gifted certain people to teach about a particular character of Christian life and about a particular book in the Bible. God is awesome that way. He is faithful if we seek first the Kingdom of God and the rest will be added to you. But be very discerning who you are hearing from and that their message is alway lining up with Scripture. Only Scripture can interpret Scripture. Man can not.

The best I have heard yet on suffering deep but so enlightening suffering in this world is only for a moment in time There is a plan if only people could believe in Christ and not the comical faiths yes over come evil with good I have not found a perfect church yet some of the so called christens are cruel thank you for this

A true Christian has had a mystical experience with the Christ.

Krishna in Hinduism also suffers with human beings too. I love Jesus too. 🙏🏾

The Christianity you have now teaches differently: since Jesus did all the suffering for us and you are now a born again new creature, you are not supposed to have any suffering. You are supposed to be healthy and wealthy or something is wrong with you. You are supposed to constantly confess how well you are, regardless how bad things are. Otherwise you are wrong. They don't pray for others, more than so. You are supposed to pray for yourself and if it does not work you are at fault.

Tim Keller had a major impact on bring “Wokism” to the American Christian Church, and the American National culture. I did us no good service.

That's not relagion that's theraphy lol

Unanswered prayer? God answers the prayers of Christians. A man's perception that his prayer has not been answered, is from man not God.

My prayer usually starts with a true statement which is found in Job. "Thou hast become cruel to me."

Sorry but he called Hinduism a great world religion. Any religion that sends you to hell is not great.
