In the last few weeks in North Dakota we've seen some very destructive weather, including a once in a lifetime storm that resulted in some devastating fatalities. And in addition to the loss of human life, this storm left in its path the destruction of many people's homes and much other valuable property. In many ways and for many people, this event, in the truest sense of the word, was a tragedy.

Now oftentimes when we see tragedies in the world, they sort jolt us awake to certain realities and force us to ask certain questions about the world, about God, and about many other things. The same thing was true in Jesus' day, and in Luke 13:1-5, we see a crowd of people coming up to ask Jesus about one of the tragedies of their day. They want to know what Jesus thinks about this and how he will respond, and Jesus, as he often does, gives them an answer that is quite surprising.

In this sermon, I highlight two things in Jesus' response that teach us about how we should think about tragedies.

#1 - All Earthly Tragedies Point to a Greater Tragedy

#2 - The Right Response to Tragedy is Repentance

This sermon was preached on Sunday, June 29th, 2025 at First Lutheran Church, in Hunter, ND.
