Why Is Life So Unfair?

Your dad probably told you, "Life isn't fair." And if he didn't, someone should have. We live in a state of simmering moral indignation. It's not merely that the world is an unjust place, but we expect a just God to balance the books. Yet He seems indifferent, at best, to the cries of the innocent, and the crimes of the wicked. We've arrived at one of the oldest questions man has struggled with: Why is Life so Unfair?

The Unfair Advantage

Undeserved suffering is unfair, we agree. But what if it's unfair in a good way? Last week we began to think about the ancient and universal human question, "Why do the innocent suffer?" Or, to point the finger at our Creator: "Why does God allow unjust pain in this world?" We got some inspiring answers from Job, but today we turn to the New Testament, and another expert on the many dimensions of unjust suffering - Paul. Here's Jim with Part 1 of The Unfair Advantage.

The Unfairness of That Which Is Fair

It's not always the cream that rises to the top! In recent days we've acknowledged that life is unfair. And we've thought about some of the reasons why bad things happen to good people. But what about when good things are continually showered on bad people? The dross, the dregs of humanity are sometimes the "rich and famous" - and powerful. The devil wants us to believe that serving God is pointless. So let's listen instead to the truth, as Jim talks about The Unfairness of That Which is Fair.

Doing Good and Suffering for it

In our upside-down world, doing good is a punishable offense. I hope someone warned you that walking with Jesus would make you a target. Because that's what we all signed up for. As long as the world lies in the power of the Evil One, he will bring consequences on those who dare tell the truth, or resist him in any way. The question is, how will we respond when we suffer for Christ? Will we choose to respond like Jesus? Here's the first part of a sermon Jim calls, Doing Good, and Suffering For It.

The Final Satisfaction

Jesus could say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" but we cannot. On His cross the Son of God suffered alone, except for a few friends who couldn't be of much comfort. We on our crosses may feel like we're alone - and the Enemy will try to intensify that feeling - but God is with us. We've asked some tough questions in this series, I Wonder. Some of the toughest have to do with human pain, and what it means to have a God who allows that to continue - for now. Jim will address the ultimate answer today. Here's Part 1 of The Final Satisfaction.
