ACTS 1:1-14
Why do bad things happen to good people?
We are reeling with sorrow and confusion from the tragedies in Uvalde, Buffalo, and Orange County, and our spirits cry out for justice and an end to violence. What does it mean to believe in a God who suffers with us; who knows what it’s like to be abandoned; who knows the suffering of losing a child to senseless violence.
The cross is our example of how God deals with suffering – Jesus enters into it and experiences all of it with us.
