Not Yet. ( 2 Corinthians 11 v 2 1 ff )

In the parable of the two builders in Matthew 7 v  24 - 27, we have two  two builders,who built houses, one built on rock, the other on sand, Jesus said that a storm hits both houses,,Kenneth Bailey ,points out that ,'Faith in Jesus does not provide magical protection from the storms of life'.So many Christians are seeking to be free from suffering,,the late  Selwyn  Hughes,wrote the following,''The fall has turned this fair universe of God's into a shambles much about the world is still beautiful,accidents,disasters. And will continue until the time when God brings all things to a conclusion''.Much of the New Testament is full of people who suffered ,why? this a fallen world as Selwyn Hughes  pointed out. We will consider more on this next time.
