Rev. James Gibson (Part Two) We are continuing pur study which we began last week on the Goodness of God. We have found that because God does not make life easy for us, or prevent us from doing rash and dangerous things, is no proof that He is not good. Let us study the last situation. This one is different and applies to younger people. We are young and have been terribly disappointed in love. The girl of our dreams turns us down and leaves us. This is the end of every thing, and if we have any religious life at all we are likely to say, "If God is good, how can He let this terrible thing happen to me?" A year passes by and we meet the girl who is to become our wife. There she is, the perfect person, and we begin a life with her that is full of happiness and joy. We may realize, some bright day, that we are now thanking God for the very thing that we blamed Him for a year ago. In other words, is it not true that God doesn't always act in a way that we can understand? If we go back a few years we will remember that our parents didn't either. So many times life the things that we have thought to be our crosses turned out to be our crowns. This is another thing that is well worth remembering when we are wondering to ourselves whether God is good or not. It may be because His ways are greater than our ways, His thoughts are greater than thoughts and the things that seem at the time to be bad, turn out to be for our good. We have not answered all the questions by any means. There are areas of this subject we have not even touched. In the long run, however, it is not an argument we must win, but a choice we must make. These are only three possiblities. First: If God is not good, then He must be either neutral or evil. If God is evil, then what about all the wonderful things that blossom on the branches of the tree of life? What about all the beauty and the goodness of life? Where do they come from? I recognize the mystery of evil in the world, and I am often puzzled by it. But when I set it beside the mystery of goodness, then the goodness is by far the greater mystery. Again the thought of God being neutral. The very heart of this universe, not caring one way or the other, whether good or evil wins. Making no difference to Him. This is more than I can accept. The thought that the God of the universe can look at the Cross of Christ, a£ Judas and Jesus and see no difference. This neutral God I cannot believe I cannot answer all the questions, I do not try to. But I know that sooner or later we have to make a choice. Whether to believe that the very essence of life is corrupt. Or whether to believe, despite all the things which may suggest the contrary, that God is good. May 9th.
