#119 - Joby Martin // Why Do Bad Things Happen? 5 Theological Realities
Manage episode 489041369 series 3625879
Jesus uses the story of Lazarus in John 11 to teach us why bad things happen even to people God loves. We explore five theological realities that explain pain and suffering in the world.
• The fall of humanity brought forth pain, strife, and suffering as collateral damage
• Demonic attacks cause suffering as Satan seeks to steal, kill, and destroy
• Our own sinful choices and poor decisions lead to painful consequences
• Other people's sinful choices can cause suffering in our lives
• Sometimes suffering comes directly from God's hand for his purposes
• All suffering ultimately falls under God's sovereign control working for the good of those who love him
• Jesus promises that Lazarus's illness will lead to God's glory
