Luke 13: 1-9
Psalm 103
Do you believe in a Prosperity Gospel? Where God will bless His followers with worldly blessings? Well, this Gospel deals with the opposite. Do earthly trials indicate sin?
When my brother was dying a Jewish friend of mine said "Y'all are so devout, why is God punishing you so much?" Her thinking was- if someone follows God, they should be exempt from worldly suffering. But that also means the flip side would be true- if someone doesn't follow God, then they should have heaps of worldly suffering.
