Why Is This Happening To Me? | Christ For YouText: Genesis 3:19; 1 Corinthians 4:7 | Ash WednesdayWhen life hurts, do you put God on trial? When life goes well, do you take the credit? Have you prayed, “God, why is this happening to me?” like an accusation? Like you deserve better? Like God owes you answers?Ash Wednesday cuts you off. What do the ashes say about you? What do they silence? What do they expose? Are you dust? Mortal? A sinner? Then what is left to do but repent?Scripture presses harder: “What do you have that you did not receive?” Did you give yourself breath? Keep your heart beating? Hold your life together for one second? If you want “credit,” will you take it for what is truly yours: sin and the death it brought? And if suffering is not always tied to one specific sin, do you still see its root in the fall and the curse?Then the Gospel: Jesus takes what you earned, guilt, shame, curse, death, and bears it on the cross. Why was He forsaken? For you. What do you get instead? Forgiveness. Peace with God. Life. So where will you take your “why” now? Will you go looking for explanations, or will you go to Christ who gives Himself to sinners?Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?Support the preaching of God’s Word
