Answers To Questions About Misfortune, Tragedy, And Trauma
In searching for answers and meanings about misfortune,
tragedy, and trauma, the easiest answers come to us when the causes of tragedy and trauma
are clearly related to human sin. At least we would all like to have easy answers when it
comes to sin as a cause of tragedies. However, Jesus noted that misfortune, pain, and
suffering come to both the righteous and unrighteous.
Matthew 5:45 He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and
sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (NIV)
Why would God have created a system like this? Wouldn't it be more fair for the bad
people to always "get theirs?" When we look at how Christ instructs us to live,
then we see His teachings have a "love only" foundation. God has created
conditions for our relationship to Him to be based solely upon our loving Him. We must
love the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for who He is, what He is, and we must be
willing to throw off our sinfulness in loving Him.
