time cannot contain it

I have been challenged by the same question before.
That was years ago in the Soviet Union when a teacher
of mathematics in Moscow said, “ Don’t you think that it’s
wrong to put people in danger by telling them about God? You
know that they will get in trouble , if they receive your message.
They will most probably even be persecuted and killed.”
Yes, life offers us a lot of difficult choices. Often the choice is
not between good and evil, not even right and wrong.
Which one is better, to pour disinfecting, but painful ointment to the
wound or let the infection spread. Both choices come with pain.
Everybody suffers in life.
Why not to suffer for a good reason?
Yesterday three of our brothers were brutally murdered by
people who were not ready for a dialogue.
Common sense, rational thinking or truth doesn’t mean anything
for these people. They are the real victims, who have been
blinded by lies and poisoned emotions.
King Saul cast a spear at David, because he was afraid of him.
I Sam. 18:12 He saw that God was with him.
Why does God allow evil in believers' life?
Why were our brothers not protected by God?
These are questions that cannot be answered superficially.
There is a measure of evil that God allows in the world today.
The only reasonable way to look at it is by looking for the
bigger picture. If we compare small things with small things
they can look big, but if we compare small things with big
things, they loose their size, power and meaning.
Time is a small thing when you compare it with eternity.
So many answers are too big to be measured by time.
Only eternity will reveal their real value. Acts 1:7-8
God makes no mistakes.
