Have you ever sat in a waiting room, stood at a graveside, or stared at a ceiling at 2am wondering what you did to deserve this? You're not alone, and you're not the first. The disciples asked Jesus the same question when they passed a man who had been blind since birth: who sinned?

Jesus's answer is tender and surprising. Nobody sinned to cause this. This man's suffering exists so that the glory of God can be put on display. In John 9:1–5, Pastor Dale brings the weight of that answer to bear on real life: the bad diagnosis, the faltering marriage, the choices that cost you more than you planned.

The God who redeemed the darkest Friday in history has not abandoned you in yours. Your suffering is not the end of the story. It may be exactly how the story of your eternal life begins.
