Day 14
Today, someone entered “god is unimaginably cruel” in Google or Yahoo or one of the other search engines, and ended up here at Made For Eternity. I have no clue what the thought processes behind that particular search were, but the entry they clicked on was from 2007. It went like this:
I’ve heard people say that there is no God, but if there is, he must be unimaginably cruel – an assumption based on all the heartache aned evil in the world. As I read through Isaiah, though, I see the exact opposite; I see a God who is righteous in his judgment of man’s sin, who is just in destroying the wicked, but who is gracious beyond measure. For after the judging, comes this:
Isaiah 25:8-9 “He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
He is not unimaginably cruel. He is unimaginably kind.
