Ons foute word nie verberg nie
“Some suffering is given in order to chastise and correct a person for wrongful patterns of life (as in the case of Jonah imperiled by the storm), some suffering is given not to correct past wrongs but to prevent future ones (as in the case of Joseph sold into slavery), and some suffering has no purpose other than to lead a person to love God more ardently for himself alone and so discover the ultimate peace and freedom.” – Tim Keller
Ons foute word nie verberg nie
Ons geloof steek nie foute weg nie. Kyk na Jesus se geslagsregister in Matteus 1. Twee dinge wat dadelik opval is die prostituut en owerspel. In ons moderne kultuur herskryf ons eintlik die geskiedenis van ons helde – die foute word verdoesel en die goeie word opgeblaas. Die Bybel doen nie dit nie.
