The above question is asked by every human being at some point in our lives. It’s a question that indicates we sense life should be different. We should be different! We should be kinder, more patient, more compassionate with one another. We should think less about ourselves and more about other people. But that would mean we would have to give up on getting what we want and that is very hard to do. Looking out for others very often means sacrificing our personal happiness. And so, we live wanting a different world but we’re unwilling to do what is necessary to make it happen because of our self-centeredness. How strange! How human!
The biblical answer for the question, “What went wrong?” is brutally straightforward. Life is hard because of an event many years ago in which people decided life would be better without the God who had created them. It was a decision which brought unimaginable suffering and pain.
The account of Adam and Eve falling for Satan’s temptation at the beginning of human history is dismissed by some as a fairy tale. Upon close reading, however, it not only provides solid answers for our questions about the hardships of life, even more importantly, it offers the hope that there is an alternative to our world that has gone so wrong! If you feel like you are drowning in the tidal wave of human pain and suffering, join us for our Sunday morning worship service. What went wrong has been made right and we can be a part of it.
