As we remember the terror of 9/11, we long for an answer to it. As we see lives blown apart by natural disasters, our hearts cry out with it. As the economy worsens and banks fail and businesses fold and more and more people lose their jobs, our souls seek satisfaction to this enigma. It is the age-old question that haunts us: “I wonder why bad things happen to good people?” This is a burning question for anyone who has experienced the horrors of life. Churches are flooded with people asking this question. Counselors are overbooked with clients asking this question. People all over the world pray this question: Why do bad things happen to good people? The brokenness of life shatters many people’s ideas about how the world is supposed to operate.
We don’t live life very long before…
