Jesus The Great Comforter! When Life is not fair!

Share

By Greg Ryan

We see it all the time in people's lives some 

unwanted circumstance enters and life is turned 

upside down. A loss of a job, an unexpected bill, 

sickness you name it. I think we have all said at 

one time or another, "gosh, life just doesn't seem 

to be fair. It does not suppose to be this way; it 

wasn't what I had planned."

We hear about it all the time in people's lives 

someone leaves a marriage, a friend disappoints 

you when you need them the most, or someone is not 

the person you expected them to be. Our 

expectations in others sometimes just never seems 

to be met.

We experience it at times in our own lives when 

life and love come together and all we come up 

with is the absence of logic. We rack our brains 

to find some reasons or rationales for events or 

peoples behaviors only to find ourselves left with 

more confusion and frustrations.

Was life fair to Jesus? Absolutely not! Did people 

disappoint him? You bet! Did events in his life 

not make sense to him at times? Probably so! But 

through it all even up until the time of his death 

Jesus had a passion for giving people comfort in 

the midst of events, unmet expectations and times 

of no rhyme nor reason. One of the Passions Jesus 

had was he is the great comforter.

 "Come to me all 

who are heavy laden and I will give you rest." 

the bible says. Yet nowhere in the bible does he 

say that our lives will be perfect. Nowhere does 

he say others will always live up to our 

expectations, and nowhere does he say that we will 

understand it all. But what he does say all 

through out the bible is when; life, love and 

logic disappoints come to the cross and lay our 

burdens down. 

There is no other place than on our 

knees that Jesus would rather us be. It is in our 

questions of life, our disappointments of others, 

and our times of confusion where we find the most 

comforter in Jesus.

If we wait until life is 100 percent, loved ones 

are totally to our liking, and we try to 

understand everything about them both, life may 

never be lived, love may never be found and we may 

miss out on the true meaning of why Jesus died on 

the cross for us. Romans 8:28 does say, "And we 

know that all things work together for good to 

them that loves God, to them who are called 

according to his purpose." Jesus wants us to love 

life, love others and love him that is the true 

meaning of life.

This week when life isn't fair, disappoints arise 

and things don't seem to make any sense remember 

Jesus is our comforter and it's at the cross where 

he died that we can lay our burdens down.
