WHY?
WEEK 3 :: WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? People in the Bible that asked similar questions.

{Abraham} - Genesis 18:25b - Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldnt do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?

{Jeremiah} - Jeremiah 12:1b - Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?

{David} - Psalms 44:24 - Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?

1 :: MAYBE YOU'RE SIMPLY A ____________________________ OF A FALLEN WORLD.

John 16:33b In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Psalm 53:1-3

2 :: MAYBE YOU BROUGHT IT ON _____________________________.

1 The fool says in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good. 2 God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Galatians 6:7-8 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Ecclesiastes 7:20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

Hebrews 4:15 3 :: MAYBE GOD WANTS TO DO SOMETHING _________________. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we areyet he did not sin.

John 9:1-3 1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Neither this man nor his parents sinned, said Jesus, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
