Is Our Suffering God's Will? Part 2

Why is my pain unending...?

Jeremiah 15:18

 

In seeking those who had experienced the tragic accident with him, Mr. Trager found the Hasidic Jews first.  They were an extended family who, on the day of the crash, were in route to worship at the Western Wall.  The family patriarch told Joshua Prager that "God caused the accident and saved our lives."  He said they must be like Job and follow God without question.

After the Hasidim, he located the widow of the bus driver [who had found religion just prior to his death].  She was a secular Jew who stated that her husband "...feared nothing but God."  She believed that it was God who ordained the crash.  "It is written," she said.

Last, but certainly not least, in a small Arab town, he found the driver of the truck that had obliterated the minibus.  He had "found religion" after the crash, and believed that the accident was an act of God.  He then spoke an Arab word - Maktoob - it is written.

As he drove back to Jerusalem, Trager realized that for once, as improbable as it might be, Arab and Jew were in complete agreement:  GOD DID IT.   ~to be continued
