Daylight Is Coming
If God exists and He is good, why do bad things happen? There are books written on this, so a blog isn’t going to cover the multitude of answers, but let’s dive into one. Bad things happen because there is sin in the world (God didn’t bring that, we did). Sin leads to chaos, pain, brokenness . . . and bad things. We live in a broken world and that won’t change totally until Jesus comes back, but we don’t have to live with a broken life.
That is the message of Easter . . . no more broken life, no more emptiness, no more loneliness. Sin has been beaten like a rented mule and been rendered powerless. No more night, no more gloom, no more wandering around in the dark, lost and confused about life. Daylight is coming . . .
