Where did evil come from?

14. Apr, 2010 2 Comments

We live in a world where so much evil and suffering happens – but why do we live in a world where there is so much evil and suffering?

Many people point the finger outside, to people who aren’t ‘us’, such as the axis of evil that President Bush pointed to. But the Bible points us to a different reality. It points to the fact that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and so therefore evil is not something we can label as ‘out there’ but evil is something that is within us, something that we are.

The problem is, then, when we look for an answer to the question ‘Where did evil come from?’, we need to look in the mirror. But to see the solution we go to the cross, where God takes the ultimate evil onto himself and comes through victorious.

Hans is the Lead Pastor of Resolved. He grew up in a small rural town and became a Christian at the age of fourteen when he tried to hit on a hot chick who told him about Jesus. Hans subsequently forgot about the chick and became totally blown away by Jesus. Hans is the luckiest guy ever, for three reasons: 1. He has been saved by Jesus from the consequences of his sin. 2. He is married to the most beautiful woman in the world! 3. He has the privilege of pastoring Resolved which, he thinks, is the best church in the world. Hans is passionate about life, truth, and people, and would love to meet you and hear your story!
