Well done. I look forward to further dialogue regarding this. I have continued to wrestle with the question, “What is God’s answer to the seemingly un-answerable questions in life?” The older I get the more I believe that His answer is beautifully and completely displayed at the cross (and more importantly through his resurrection). At first- this sounded like a cliché to me. But as I have analyzed it more, its meaning has become profound and intense. The truth is that the hope of salvation through Christ is the only answer to everything and everyone within creation’s fallen state. A wealthy person with seemingly no material needs, an atheist denying the very existence of the God who created him/her, a sincere follower of Christ trying their best to live according to His precepts, a peasant in a remote village who may not have yet heard of the redemption available through this person Jesus… The tsunamis of life may come to each of these. Why does God cause or allow it? What is the answer? Christ is the eternal answer. He somehow transcended time and took on our pain and suffering and offers life in return. I have to admit, I can’t quite understand it fully. But I am getting there…

1 Cor. 13:12 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I konw in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
