He knows ( Romans 8 v 32 )

In  April 1989 there was a horrendous disaster at the Hillsborough football ground in Sheffield, in which many spectators were killed and injured. The story is told of a Christian doctor who, after he had finished the medical work he had been asked to do, was invited  to have a word with some of the bereaved,many had lost a son a father. The doctor approached a man who was deeply distressed,and sought without words to draw alongside him to comfort him. After some time he thought it appropriate to offer to say a prayer for the man. So he asked the man whether he might pray to God for him.  The bereaved man reacted bitterly,and said,'What does God know about losing a son?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  John 3 v 16.                                                                                                          For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son,                                                             that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal                                                                 life.                                        '
