Living in a world with sin and evil means we experience pain. The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV). Deceitful, wicked hearts produce evil actions and followers of Jesus often feel the effects of those actions too. The fact that Satan has some power on Earth (2 Corinthians 4:4) contributes to an atmosphere of suffering. Sometimes our pain is a result of our own sin. At other times, we are pained because we did nothing wrong, but still suffer because of the sins of others. The latter can feel unjust and surprising.
