All of our lives will be touched by something tragic at some point—death, disease, grief, sorrow, betrayal, abuse, etc.—you name it, we live in a world corrupted by sin and evil and it is unavoidable. And yet, how do we reconcile all this with an all-loving God who allows these things to happen? In today’s study, Pastor Gary draws on a passage from Luke 13 dealing with two tragic events that resulted in the deaths of many people. We will examine what Jesus teaches us about dealing with tragedy in our lives in today’s study entitled, “The Theology of Tragedy.”
