A Question of Evil
The question was asked during the second service concerning God's fingerprint in everything and evil. This question has caused me to think further than the short answer I gave and has given me a new appreciation for what God has and is doing. If you were to ask people where the most evil place is, hell would make the top 10, if not the #1 evil place in the universe. We know that Christ, when he died, descended into hell and released those who were captive. The Psalmist asks; where can I go that you are not with me . . . even when I do to the depths of the earth. The rather profound implication is that even in hell, God's fingerprint is there. Christ left it when he conquered the power of sin and death. Please understand I am not saying that God orchestrates evil, but he is there in the middle of the mess. Christ becoming sin proves that there is absolutely no place that one cannot see God's fingerprint on it somewhere. This of course raises a whole new set of questions. I'm curious what you think or questions you would have.
