3. What made him do it?

5. The thief’s purpose is to steal and
kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
John 10:10 (NLT)

7. Luke 11:24-26 (NLT) When an evil spirit leaves a person, it
goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will
return to the person I came from.’ So
it returns and finds that its former home
is all swept and in order. Then the
spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.
Luke 11:24-26 (NLT)

9. What reasons might God have for allowing such a horrible tragedy?

11. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-10 (NLT)

13. You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought
me to this position so I could save
the lives of many people.
Genesis 50:20 (NLT)

15. God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the
worst sinners. Then others will realize
that they, too, can believe in him
and receive eternal life.
1 Timothy 1:16 (NLT)

17. John 16:33 (NLT) I have told you all this so that you
may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.
But take heart, because I have
overcome the world.
John 16:33 (NLT)

19. What then should
our response be?

20. 1. Cry

22. O Lord, how long will you forget me. Forever
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the
other way? How long must I struggle
with anguish in my soul, with sorrow
in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the
upper hand? Turn and answer me,
O Lord my God! Restore the sparkle
to my eyes, or I will die. (cont’d)
Psalm 13 (NLT)

23. Psalm 13 (NLT) Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying,
“We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have
rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
Psalm 13 (NLT)

25. 2. Praise

27. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of
the Lord be praised.
Job 1:21 (NIV)

29. 3. Love

31. In him was life, and that life was
the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:4-5 (NIV)

33. What would be the result?

35. Not Again
