When what’s sad becomes untrue
By Jeremy | September 11, 2006
"He decided to burrow anew into the difficult question “Why?†The question is impossible to answer completely, he said in his brief sermon. But Dr. Keller pointed to a theme that runs throughout Scriptures, that God identifies with those who suffer. “We don’t know the reason that God allows evil and suffering to continue,†he said. “But we know what the reason isn’t. We know what the reason can’t be. It can’t be that he doesn’t love us. It can’t be that he doesn’t care.†He went on to urge those in the audience to yearn, even if it was difficult to fathom or believe, for a future time, when everything would be made right. He cited a passage from the last book of “The Lord of the Rings,†when a character, Sam, awakes thinking all is lost but then sees his friend Gandalf. In his joy, he asks him, “Is everything sad going to come untrue?†The answer, Dr. Keller said, is “Yes.â€Â" Article.
