The Essential Jesus

"We all struggle sometimes with God. We’re not sure what to make of his justice, of his wrath, of his ways of dealing with us or others in this world. Like Mary and Martha after their brother died, we sometimes wonder where God is, what He’s doing, and why He’s taking so long. When you find yourself wondering how good God is, or how merciful, or how able to help – look at Jesus! Look how he deals with the poor and the broken; with the sinners and the self-righteous. When you’re wondering if you can trust God to do right by you and anyone who turns to Him, look at how Jesus dealt with everyone who trusted him. They were healed, and restored, and forgiven, and set free."
