Why is there Evil and Suffering?

Intro:

Without God in the picture, evil and suffering seems to be random and pointless but with God, all things slowly come together in His time. But the God of the Bible does not stand in the distance to leave us to our own devices. The God of the Bible does not leave us to suffer alone but He joins us in the evil and suffering and all without sin.

Reflection Questions:

  1. How has God revealed Himself to you during a time of suffering?
  2. How would you want Jesus to reveal Himself to you in your time of suffering?
  3. Through the Cross of Christ, God has defeated evil. Thank Him.
