Why Me?(Why did God do this to ME?)

Are we, as Christians, excluded fromtroubled times?

Are we, as Christians, excluded from

pain?

James 1:13 Let no man say when he istempted, I am tempted of God: for Godcannot be tempted with evil, neither

tempteth he any man:

Matthew 5:45 ...[God] maketh his sun torise on the evil and on the good, and

sendeth rain on the just an on the unjust.

Matthew 7:24-27Therefore whosever heareth thesesayings of mine; and doeth them, I will liken him

unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:25. And the rain descended, and the floods came,

and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and

it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And

every one tht heareth these sayings of mine, and

doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man,which built his house upon the sand: 27. And the

rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds

blew, and beat uon that house; and it fell: and great

was the fall of it.

Why Me?(Why is it so much worse for ME?)

Do we, as Christians, have more severe troubledtimes?

Do we, as Christians, endure more pain? 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation takenyou but such as is common(or moderate) to man:but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be

tempted above that ye are able; but will with thetemptation also make a way to escape, that ye may beable to bear it.

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is butfor a moment,...

Why Me?(Why do these things happen to ME?)

James 1:2-4, 12 My brethren, count it all joy whenye fall into divers temptation; 3. Knowing this, thatthe trying of your faith worketh patience. 4. But

let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be

perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 12. Blessed

is the man that endureth temptation: for when he istried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the

Lord hath promised to them that love him.


9/13

1 Peter 1:6-7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though nowfor a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through

manifold temptations: 7. That the trial of your faith,

being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,

though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise

and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus

Christ:

2 Corinthians 4:17 ...worketh for us a far moreexceeding and eternal weight of glory;



10/13

Romans 8:17-18 And if children, then heirs; heirs of

God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that wesuffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time

are not worthy to be compared with the glory which

shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work

together for goodto them that love God, to them who

are the called according to his purpose.
