OWEN
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, the Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist!
Imagine you are a student with a calculus homework assignment. As you work the problems, you realize the back of the book has all the answers. You could write the answers down
from there and turn it in...but when it came time for the exam, you wouldn't know how to do the work.
Sometimes, Christians wonder why they are not exempted from difficult work and God doesn't give us all the answers right now. The answer is simple: Jesus said “Blessed are the
peacemakers.” and to help make people with others through conflict and struggle, including those who are not Christian, you have to go through it yourself and learn the answers
through practice and experience. Otherwise, you can't help others with something you don't know about.
God gifts us with difficult times and hidden answers so that we can have the joy of helping those who do not know Jesus when they go through difficult times. When we face the exam
of responding to someone's pain, God prepares us to pass the test!
May God bless you!
