Whose Fault?
It's so frequent that we think of whose fault when something that seems not right or abnormal is happening in this life.
For example, it was written in the Bible that Jesus' disciples asked Him this question when they saw a man who had been blind from birth.
" Was it because of his own sins or his parent's sins?"
Jesus answered, " It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins. This happened so the power of God could be seen in him."
It's not anybody's fault, but God is willing to show Himself on what has been thought as a chaos in this life.
God can mend this mess of life and turn it into something good.

As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.2 “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”
3 “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.
--- John 9:1-3
Salah Siapa?
Sangat sering kita berpikir tentang siapa yang salah ketika ada sesuatu yang tak benar atau tidak normal dalam hidup ini.
Sebagai contohnya, di Alkitab dikisahkan bahwa murid-murid Yesus bertanya pada-Nya ketika melihat seorang yang sudah buta sejak lahir.
Salah siapa?
Salah dirinya? Atau salah orangtuanya?
Jawab Yesus, " Bukan dia dan bukan juga orangtuanya, tetapi karena pekerjaan-pekerjaan Allah harus dinyatakan di dalam dia."
Bukan salah siapa-siapa, namun Tuhan berkenan menyatakan diri-Nya atas sesuatu yang terlihat sebagai kekacauan dalam hidup ini.
Tuhan bisa membenahi segala kekacauan ini dan menjadikannya sesuatu yang baik.

Waktu Yesus sedang lewat, Ia melihat seorang yang buta sejak lahirnya. 9:2 Murid-murid-Nya bertanya kepada-Nya: "Rabi, siapakah yang berbuat dosa, orang ini sendiri atau orang tuanya, sehingga ia dilahirkan buta?" 9:3 Jawab Yesus: "Bukan dia dan bukan juga orang tuanya, tetapi karena pekerjaan-pekerjaan Allah harus dinyatakan di dalam dia.
--- Yohanes 9:1-3
