Mwana wa Munthu ayeneux kudzapachikidwa, kuti ndi moyo aliyense wokhulupirira Akhal wosatha mwa Iye. ( must the Son of Man be lifted up, and then whosoever believeth in him shall have eternal life. John 3:14)
I wonder every time and it upsets me, when it is written in the Gospel that Jesus had suffer and die. It is already a feat to believe in God. It is harder still to understand the need for Jesus to suffer horribly for us to offer a greater good of eternal salvation.
- Mulungu aloleranji zowawa? (Why does God allow suffering?)
How to answer this question?
- Alola zowawa kuti Mulungu tilimbike, ndipo amatithandiza kupezamo zokoma . (God allows suffering for us, "strengthen" or we "encouraged" by helping us to achieve something better). My colleague John suggests to me rather; ... kuti tilimbe mtime ndipo muzowawa mutuluka zokoma (for us to brave the pain of knowing that something good comes out.)
The plane crash that killed the President and Poles 95 other people is a terrible tragedy. Especially since it was the commemoration of the assassination of 20,000 Polish officers by Stalin in 1940 in Katyn.
Surprisingly, observe Agnès Gruda in La Presse on Monday, April 22, the tragedy of the crash of the presidential plane may signal a reversal of history by helping to close a painful chapter in Polish-Russian relations. The Russian government has taken all necessary measures to promptly investigate, offer help and condolences to declare a national mourning while telecasting the film Katyn Polish director Andrzej Wajda. Losing their lives in the disaster, wrote Angels Gruda, President Lech Kaczynski may have made the ultimate service his country. " It will change the course of history to provide for the Consul General of Poland in Montreal, Tadeusz Zylinska because today, everybody talks about Katyn. What a turnaround!
did God permit the crash of the presidential plane?
did God permit the killing of 20,000 Polish officers?
did God permit the death of approximately 70 million people during WWII?
God allow these days so many violations, injustice, misery, misery, suffering?
It seems to me that we must address these issues from another angle. It is not God's desire that humanity suffers in order to get something better.
RATHER, IN JESUS, GOD "HE CAN" TO SUFFER AND DIE.
IN JESUS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD bears the burden of all our suffering.
Jesus was suffer for God to change the course of history and so close a painful chapter of human-divine relationship. By dying on the cross, Jesus makes a final service to humanity by providing a path of reconciliation. What a turnaround Situation! And that's why we keep talking about it.
Death has no power over Jesus. He is the author of all the ups and downs since we take a look of faith and hope in a God who is vulnerable and shares our suffering.
" While he was a Son, Jesus learned obedience through suffering. And now ... it provides the definitive salvation to those who obey him. "(Hebrews 5.8 to 9)
