WHY DID... Adam & Eve... Eat That Apple...
WHY DID... Jacob's Children Get Enslaved In Egypt...
WHY DID... Samson Have That Bad Hair Day...
WHY DID... David Kill Uriah & Steal His Pretty Wife...
WHY DID... Jesus Have To Be Crucified... & The Disciples Martyred.
.
Each Happened... No Question... No Doubt... BUT... WHY?
.
Well...
From Adam & Eve's disobedience...
We Learned... How Horrible... the price of Sin.
From Jacob's kids enslavement...
We Learned... How Precious Freedom.
From Samson's dallying with Delilah...
We Learned... Better to Put God 1st.
From David's Sin... We learned... God's Mercy.
From Jesus' Crucifiction...
We Were... All Given Eternal Life.
And From The Martyr's...
We Learned... That The Kingdom of God Is Worth Any Sacrifice.
.
Why does the Lord allow bad things to happen? It's Because... God... Who Made This World... & Made Us All... He Had a Plan. He Allowed It All... For a Reason.
.
In the big picture of things... The Lord was planting a crop in the mud. Mud is dirty and messy... but ultimately... it yields a great harvest. In this case... The Harvest Will Be A Stack Of Folks That Love The Lord... And Receive Him...And Believe In Him. Them folks be going to Heaven. Then, after that... there's a stack of weeds heading for the burn pile. Matthew 13:37-43
.
One Day In Heaven... We Will See The Harvest. We Will See He Had a Reason For It All!
