WHY DO INNOCENT CHILDREN SUFFER?
A child is born with a painful disease.
Another dies in an earthquake.
Another is abused before learning to speak.
If God is all-powerful, He could stop it.
If God is all-loving, why doesn’t He?
Many answers have been offered:
- It’s because of free will.
- It’s because the world is fallen.
- It’s part of God’s plan.
But does the Bible ever explain why that particular child had to suffer?
Surprisingly, it doesn’t.
Instead, Scripture shows that innocent children do suffer, rejects the idea that every suffering child is being punished for personal sin, and never reveals the reason behind every tragedy.
Perhaps the hardest question in the Bible isn’t whether God exists…
It’s whether we are willing to admit that some of His ways remain beyond our understanding.
What do you think?
If you had one question to ask God about the suffering of innocent children, what would it be?
