A meditation on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven…
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Suffering often brings out the best in those who choose not to become embittered or hardened, and engenders love, tenderness, goodness, and concern for others. The Bible says, “We comfort others with the comfort that we ourselves are comforted with [by] God” (2 Corinthians 1:4). Often those who turn to God for comfort and strength in their suffering later want to point others to the One who can also ease their sufferings and help them solve their problems —God and His love.
Song (MP3) : “Does Jesus Care?” by Frank E. Graeff
The Deal of a Lifetime!
So, ask Me to come into your life and fix whatever is broken. I’ll move in with a complete program of repair, restoration, and even some new improvements if you want them. I have a whole new range of possibilities for you to choose from. Is that a good deal?
The Easter Story
Jesus suffered the spiritual agony of the dying sinner–lost, without salvation, without God, dying for his sins. Only in Jesus’ case He was dying for our sins, the sins of the whole world. He was willing to go through all that so we could be forgiven and have eternal life. Such love!
Three days after His lifeless body was buried, something happened that shocked His enemies and proved to all of His followers that He really was the Son of God: He arose from the dead, the victor over death and Hell forever!
The True Meaning of Easter
Would you like to live in the forever, instead of the today? Would you like to see your life as counting for eternity, and not lost in the mishmash of everyday problems and trivia?
I know that you do, and Jesus knows that you have a need to reach out beyond the physical, beyond your day-to-day routine, beyond the millions of details of life that would drag you down.
