Who sinned? On a certain level, that question is legitimate. For the only reason there is any disease or handicap in the world today is because of sin. And more specifically, it is because our parents - our first parents, Adam and Eve - sinned and with their sin plunged the world into sin. All people ever since are born in sin and with sin. Bad things happen because of sin in the world, but there’s not always a direct cause and effect relationship. Sometimes we just don’t know why things happen as they do. But still, we want to know, don’t we, often because we want someone to blame. Maybe it’s because if we have someone to blame it will make ourselves feel better or feel superior. Jesus, however, doesn’t play the blame game but instead He says, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” living water–only He can satisfy your thirsty soul, which is the very thing He has come to do. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.
