If God is all-powerful, all good, and all wise, why do terrible things happen?
We stand in awe of the birth of Christ, recorded in Luke chapter 2, as well we should — miracle upon gospel miracle, that God would humble himself to be our Savior. Such good news, such a joyful celebration!
And then we encounter Matthew chapter 2. The Magi come to worship the Christ-child! The story is still beautiful and joyful so far, yes — but what happens next?
A paranoid king orders a city’s toddlers to be slaughtered.
If God is all-powerful, all good, and all wise, why do terrible things like this happen?
We’ll tackle this painful question together this Sunday and look to our infant King and Savior for his truth and his comfort.
This Sunday’s worship at both campuses will also include the Lord’s Supper, to close the year with this special gift of his presence and grace.
