“Why is life so hard?
Why is life so hard?
And why do we suffer?”
“Sin came into the world
because of what man did,
and with sin came death.”
“All of us have strayed
away like sheep. Like
sheep all of us have
strayed away. We have
left God‟s path to
follow our own paths.”
“No one can say, „I am
innocent; I‟ve never done
anything wrong.‟”
Sin – to fall short;
to miss the mark.
Sin means I don‟t
measure up to God‟s
perfect goal for me.
Transgression –
intentionally breaking
the law; going past
the boundary.
Transgression –
deliberate disobedience,
willful defiance,
breaking God‟s laws.
Iniquity –
intention to hurt.
“I acknowledged my sin to
you, and did not cover up
my iniquity. I confessed
my transgressions and you
forgave my guilt.”
“Creation was condemned
to lose its purpose…”
“Creation is confused.”
“All of creation groans
with pain…”
“No one can control the
wind or stop his own death.”
“Our physical body
is becoming older
and weaker.”
“Your limbs will tremble with age and
your strong legs will grow weak. Your
teeth will be too few to do their work and
you‟ll be blind too. And when your teeth
are gone, keep your lips tightly closed
when you eat. Even the chirping of birds
will wake you up but you yourself will be
deaf and tuneless with quavering voice.
You‟ll be white hair and withered,
dragging along without any sexual desire.
You‟ll be standing at death‟s door and as
you near your everlasting home, the
mourners will walk along the streets.”
“Everyone dies because
all of us are related to
Adam, the first man.”
“Our earthly bodies which die and
decay are different from the bodies
we will have in heaven. They‟ll
never die. The bodies we have now
embarrass us, for they become sick
and they die. But they will be full of
glory when we come back to life
again. Yes, they‟re weak dying
bodies now. But when we live
again they will be full of strength.”
“Everything under the
sun is meaningless, like
chasing the wind. What
is wrong cannot be
righted. What is missing
cannot be recovered.”
