"Because I Said So"

Life's Not Fair! by Gregg Hein (Higher Things Magazine Summer 2008)

I found this Higher Things Magazine when I was organizing my closet this morning.
So fitting for me today.
Here's a little excerpt:

The biggest why ever asked is "Eli, Eli lama sabachthani?" In English, "My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?" There with His why question, Jesus draws into Himself all your why questions. Why do innocents suffer? Why is there evil? Why me? The answer to all your questions is this: "It is finished." The Righteous Son of God died. As God the Father answers with His Son on the cross and risen from the empty tomb, God is revealing His fullness while retaining His mystery. Because God is God and you are not, your fallen, finite brain will not comprehend the meaning of everything, even things you can clearly see. In the crucified Christ, the Holy Spirit comforts you with confidence in the hope that is not seen but carries you past every suffering in this world.
Even in the crucified and risen Christ, life isn't fair, but it is good and never ends.
