Bad Stuff Working Out For Good Sunday, December 22, 2002
Ever have bad stuff happen to you? (Dumb question huh!) God tells us
that if you love Him and are doing His will, all things work out for
good. Check out this couple's trouble and see how it worked out for
good.......
This lady and guy was scared to death by an angel on two separate
occasions
She was going to have a baby and they needed to make a trip at that time
During the trip, the baby was born and there was no place to stay. She
had her baby and had to make a baby crib out of a feed trough
Later, a king tried to have her baby killed
They lost their kid, thinking he was among their relatives, but he was in
a temple listening and teaching...he was only 12
Then, when the baby in question was around 33, they took him, made fun of
him, beat him to a pulp, pulled out his beard, slammed a bunch of thorns
on his head, and nailed him to a tree. There he bled and died.
And the good part is...that was the plan all the time. For Jesus to
leave Heaven, become one of his creation, and pay the punishment for our
sin. Yeah, it was tough to go through, but because he did it, I have
eternal life right now and I'm headed to Heaven to be with him some day.
