Why does God allow suffering?


It’s a question that people have been asking for centuries.  I ran across this answer today.

Hebrews 5:8(NKJV)
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered

This passage is about Jesus.  I've said many times in the past that there are just certain life lessons that you can only learn through adversity, suffering.  Here we have Jesus Himself bearing witness to that belief. 

Don't you think that if there was any other way that God could have taught Jesus this lesson without Jesus suffering, God would have done so? 

I also find this interesting.  God could have just said that suffering helps us learn life lessons and keep it generic.  But God didn't do that.  He was very specific.  He said that Jesus learned obedience through suffering. 

Hmm.  Something to ponder!
