Lent     Lent 3     Luke 13:1-9, particularly verses 1-5 

Why? (YC No 173)

Life can move many ways,

Lead to a complex maze,

And cause us question in our tribulation;

We search for answers – ‘Why?’

When troubles multiply

For these are times when we want explanation.

 

For each catastrophe

We ask, “Why should it be?”

“Is this a punishment for some wrong doing?”

Jesus says, “No Indeed!”;

However we should heed

His challenge to prevent our own undoing.

 

Life can bring tragedy;

Times we cannot forsee,

But these are not caused by some dark intention.

When such times do arrive

With courage, we survive,

And, past the trauma, search for new direction.
