When Bad Things Happen To Good People

When Bad Things Happen To Good People

April 15, 2010

Recently I was invited to speak at an Indonesian church an hour outside of Jakarta. The senior pastor was diagnosed with liver cancer a year earlier. The doctors attending to him explored the possibility of a liver transplant. After much effort, the money needed for the operation was raised and a liver donor was found. On the eve of the surgery, as the doctors were doing a final pre-op examination, they discovered that the cancer had spread throughout his body. It was now too late to do a liver transplant and the procedure was called off. The pastor and his family were devastated by this unexpected turn of events. Upon hearing the news, the assistant pastor was so grief-stricken that the next day, he suddenly collapsed in the middle of the church service and died. Forty days later, the senior pastor passed away. Without any clergy in this fledgling church, the housewifely widow of the senior pastor had to conduct the funeral service on her own. Some finger-pointing members started questioning if the untimely deaths of the top leadership were due to divine retribution, or whether the church was cursed. Over the next few months, attendance began to dwindle. As I ministered in the church, I could sense an unspoken question in the air—why do bad things happen to good people?

当坏事发生在好人身上

当坏事发生在好人身上 2010年4月15日 最近，我应邀在印尼教堂一小时雅加达以外的发 言。高级牧师被确诊为肝癌去年同期。医生对他出席探讨了肝移植的可能性。经过多番努力，需要的钱的运作是提高，肝供体被发现。对手术的前夕，在医生做了最 后的前运算检查，他们发现，癌细胞已经在他的体内扩散。这是来不及做肝脏移植和程序被称为小康。牧师和他的家人被摧毁了这一事件出现波折。听到这个消息 后，助理牧师是如此悲痛，第二天，他突然昏倒在礼拜中死亡。 40天之后，老牧师去世。如果没有这种新的教堂任何神职人员，牧师的高级housewifely寡妇不得不进行自己的葬礼。一些指责成员开始质疑，如果最 高领导层的过早死亡是由于神灵的惩罚，还是教堂诅咒。在接下来的几个月里，出席开始萎缩。正如我在教会事奉，我能感觉到空气中没有明言的问题，为什么做坏事发生在好人身上？
